How to install SuPHP\/phpSuExec on a Plesk server?<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
SuPHP Or PHPSuExec is a module that increases the security of the server and executes PHP files under the ownership of the owner of the file instead of the Apache user i.e. “apache”.<\/p>\n
The advantages of having suPHP are:<\/strong><\/p>\n
1.<\/strong><\/span> Files and Directories those need 777 permissions to write into, via the browser will now need a maximum of 755 permissions. The files\/directories with 777 permissions will result in an “Internal Server Error”.<\/p>\n
2<\/span>.<\/strong> If you need to manipulate the value of a php directive for a domain, for ex. register_globals, it needs to be placed in the php.ini of a domain instead of the .htaccess file as it will result in an “Internal Server Error”.<\/p>\n
3.<\/strong><\/span> All the files and directories uploaded using a script will have the ownership of the user instead of user ‘apache’ (i.e. the Apache user).<\/p>\n
4.<\/strong><\/span> A user can edit\/remove the files using Ftp that are uploaded via the browser.<\/p>\n
In order to install SuPHP on the server, download and install the atomic script<\/p>\n
\n
# wget -q -O - http:\/\/www.atomicorp.com\/installers\/atomic | sh<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Once the script is installed, install SuPHP module using yum<\/p>\n
\n
# yum install mod_suphp<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The next step is to load the SuPHP module with Apache. The suphp installation automatically creates a “suphp.conf” file under the Apache configuration directory, if not create it.<\/p>\n
\n
# vi \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/suphp.conf<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
and insert the following lines:<\/p>\n
\n
#Load the Mod_SuPHP module\r\n<\/span>LoadModule suphp_module modules\/mod_suphp.so\r\n<\/strong>php_admin_value engine off<\/strong><\/span>\r\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/pre>\n
# Enable handlers\r\nsuPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php\r\n<\/strong><\/span>AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n
#Enable the SuPHP engine\r\nsuPHP_Engine on<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Apache calls all the configuration files from the \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d directory by default so there is no need to include the module in the httpd.conf file separately.<\/p>\n
Now,\u00a0 configuration file under \/etc should be present (if not create it)<\/p>\n
\n
vi \/etc\/suphp.conf<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
copy\/paste the following contents as it is:<\/p>\n
\n
[global]\r\nlogfile=\/var\/log\/suphp.log\r\nloglevel=info\r\nwebserver_user=apache\r\ndocroot=\/var\/www\/vhosts\r\nallow_file_group_writeable=false\r\nallow_file_others_writeable=false\r\nallow_directory_group_writeable=false\r\nallow_directory_others_writeable=false\r\ncheck_vhost_docroot=false\r\nerrors_to_browser=false\r\nenv_path=\/bin:\/usr\/bin\r\numask=0022\r\nmin_uid=500\r\nmin_gid=500\r\n\r\n[handlers]\r\nx-httpd-php=\"php:\/usr\/bin\/php-cgi\"\r\nx-suphp-cgi=\"execute:!self\"<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
 <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Make sure the “handle_userdir”<\/strong> directive is commented or removed from the file since it is deprecated from the latest version.<\/p>\n
At the end, we have to restart the httpd service for all these changes to take effect<\/p>\n
\n
# service httpd restart<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Test the SuPHP installation<\/strong>: Create a phpinfo.php file with 777 permission and it should show you an “Internal Server Error” on browsing.<\/p>\n
