[Solved] Multiple Versions of PHP using suexec?

[outeredge]

1. Yes, that's a physical file. It seems to be the PHP CLI binary for 5.3, so I guess that doesn't get touched after a PHP re-compile.

2. 'which php' shows '/usr/bin/php' so it's looking at the file mentioned in point 1 above based on my symlink. I just find it odd that re-compiling php doesn't overwrite the CLI binary in the lsphp5/bin folder.

That still raises the question, where is the PHP CLI for Php 5.2 that i've built?

You should do below instead.

ln -sf /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 /usr/bin/php

[outeredge]

But /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 -v isn't CLI

PHP 5.3.3 (litespeed) (built: Dec 21 2010 17:11:59)

Whereas /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php -v is:

PHP 5.3.3 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Dec 21 2010 17:12:11)

- Shouldn't we be giving our SSH users the CLI binary to use?

From your screenshot, lsphp5 is currently pointing to php 5.3.3 which matches with the cli binary. That looks fine to me.

You can revert /usr/bin/php.

Back to your question:

When you recompiled 5.2, did you still use "/usr/local/lsws/lsphp5" as install path prefix ? If so, /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php should be the CLI binary of the recompiled php 5.2. AND /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/lsphp is the litespeed counterpart which is identical to the recompiled 5.2 binary copy in /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin. You can do following to verify:

ls -l /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp* /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/*php

A possible cause of lsphp5 being mismatch with cli binary in /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php is that php 5.2 was recompiled with a different Install Path Prefix (say /usr/local/lsws/lsphp52). The matching cli binary would be in /usr/local/lsws/lsphp52/bin/php.

[outeredge]

Ah, of course. It was the /usr/local/lsws/lsphp52 folder I'd forgotten about!

Thanks!!

Another problem has cropped up, we are using SuExec in the Apache config files which works fine when not using AddType to switch to PHP5.2.

However as soon as we use the below, Litespeed switches to running as the default user (www-data in our case) so the suexec user is ignored:

AddType application/x-httpd-php52 php

Could you let me know if this is a bug and if you can fix this ASAP?

suEXEC capable suffixes are : "php, php4, php5, php53, phtml, php6, fastphp". avoid "php52".

Does this apply to 4.1RC4 as well or is there a newer 4.1 RC available?

[NiteWave]

tested, apply for 4.1RC4.

Why should we avoid "php52"? If we set the version 5.3.x as default for suffix "php5" then we will not have any suffix for version 5.2.x. Could you add possibility to use also the "php52" suffix?
