Suexec on cPanel

[mistwang]

PHP4 & PHP5 should be started in suEXEC mode with 2.2.1 release.

Is there a step by step guide for cpanel users with ROOT access, but also to make this work under all other domains registered under WHM?

I want to make sure PHP5 works for PHP extensions, that mod_security etc type stuff works (or has an LSWS equivalent in terms of security), that PHP executes with SUEXEC as normal without too much effort (or pls let me know what to do), and finally, to make sure Apache is out and LSWS does my serving for the website.

Many thanks!

And how do you do that? Many thanks,

mod_security equivalent is under development, will be available in 3.0 release.

You can try LiteSpeed now without interrupt Apache service if you want to, either run LiteSpeed on different port with "Port offset" configuration, or on a different IP with "IP offset" configuration. If there is any compatibility issue with Apache, please let use know, we will work on that.

After mod_security is ready, we will add a Wiki entry for Apache->LSWS migration guide for Cpanel server.

Thanks. Roughly when might this be?

You need to your own lsphp5 executable for PHP5 by following our Wiki, then add an external app for lsphp5 and script handler configuration for '*.php5' files at server level. Just duplicate our existing configuration for lsphp and 'php' script handler.

All virutal hosts configured through Apache httpd.conf will use similar configuration to handle php and php5 files.
Play around with the web admin interface and read the document, you will get an idea how things were configured. If you messed it up, just do a reinstallation.
