Problems with easyapache3/suPHP

Greetings all,
I installed last month CPanel on a new server. The WHM version is 11.2.0. I compiled Apache 2 with PHP4 support (most of my clients still have applications which are not compatible with PHP5) and I manually installed PHP5. Everything works very well except for a couple of things:

1) PHP4 works now with suPHP but every time I create an account it adds SuexecUserGroup instead of suPHP_UserGroup (I fix this every time I create a new account by a quick search replace in httpd.conf, but still would be nice to have the right setting written to httpd.conf).

2) This second issue is a bit more serious. Most of the scripts that allow some sort of directory creation/file upload are not working properly. Infact it seems that suPHP ignores the user's umask; all the directories are 744 and it's then impossible to open them by Apache. I tried to change the user's umask to make newly created directories 755 (and it works at command line) but every time I create a new directory from a script it has correct owner and group (my user) but wrong mode (744). I then changed the umask for a test user to 0 and still the php script creates the directory as 744. I checked around and found some documentation for suPHP and apparently it has a configuration file where it's possible to specify the umask to use in the form:

umask=022

(so more similar to a php.ini directive than an apache one) but I could not find that file anywhere (it's supposed to be called suphp.conf).

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thank you in advance

No, it's not enabled. And the problem shows up also for directories created inside the document root (hence, visible by the webserver).

 

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.

This did not work, but it's not a big problem, I solve it in 5 seconds after creating each account.

I did that, the file ended up being in /opt/suphp/etc/. I changed the umask there and everything now works perfectly, The umask was set to 0033.

Thank you for your help!
