mod_php5 instead of fastcgi = problems

[Eminos]

Hi,

I had some problems using fastcgi so I disabled that and installed mod_php5. It works, but I have permission errors when using some php functions like:
"Warning: move_uploaded_file(/var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs/media/images/profile/29/1198345435.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs/inc/images.inc.php on line 531
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move" ...

I guess it's easy to fix for you pros. How should I configure it so it works with mod_php5 ??
I only have ONE domain on that server, so it's a single user envirement.

And yes. I have similar (session) problems with ispCP control panel and pma and webmail and so on.

Greatful for fast reply.

why do you need ispcp when you have only one domain to manage?

[Eminos]

Good question!
Probably coz I didn't wanna look for an other WEB, MAIL, FTP, MySQL manager. And it seemed like a simple way to install all the needed packages. That's why.

It is indeed when you don't modify some basic sezzings like fastcgi...

But back to your problem. When you run php scripts with mod_php they belong the user apache runs on (www-data or wwwrun in most cases). So this user must have write permissions in the folder you moving the file to..

in other words: the tmp folders must be writable by wwwrun/www-data - so either change owner or (quick'n'dirty) change permission to 777...

Awsome. Thanks guys

Oh yes ! How should I fix the ispCP control panel to work with mod_php5 ? And PMA and the rest of the tools.

I would enable fast-cgi for the admin interface! Elsewise you have to check a lot of permissions. see the set-permission.sh script in the setup folder...

[Eminos]

Oh, ok, great ! That was acutally my next question. Can I enable fast-cgi for SOME domains, and use mod_php5 for other ? And how do I enable the fast-cgi for only the admin insterface ? a2enmod fastcgi_ispcp ?

I think you need to modify the 00_master.conf and also the ispcp.conf - because they only test if a certain module is installed.

But you have to install/enable both modules: php5 and fast-cgi

Bu I think changing the permissions of ispcp is somewhat easier... you should be able to modify the set-gui-permissions script (in the engine/setup-folder)

I just modified the 00_master.conf, and commented out the php4 and php5 tests. So there is no open_basedir and stuff for the admin interface. I hope that is ok. At least now it works.
