    I am using suPHP as my handler, however when I create a file with:

    PHP:
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    I always get a 500 error. If I use FCGI it works fine, however i'd prefer to use suPHP. Any ideas?

    Do you create that file as root?
    If so, do you change the owner of the file?

    Also you could check Apache's error log:
    /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
    to see the actual error.

    Hello :)

    It's always a good idea to check the Apache error log (/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log) when you receive a "500" error message on your website. It's likely the file is not owned by the account username, or is not using 0644 permissions.

    Thank you.

    This is what I am getting:

    So I ran this:

    Code:
    chown puresimp:puresimp -R /home/puresimp/public_html
    now i'm getting a 403 instead of a 500. Checked permissions and that seems to be okay.

    Just chmod to 755 instead of 750 and it works.

    chmod what?


    This:
    tells that info.php was owned by root.

    It's not a good idea to recursively change ownership on all files in the public_html directory. You should have simply adjusted ownership on the individual file. You will likely need to correct ownership of the public_html directory to:

    user:nobody

    Thank you.
