Is there any way a server can be configured so files created by PHP scripts are owned by the account user, rather than user/group = 99/99(nobody/nobody)? If this isn't possible, we are required to chmod 777 a directory which is a
security risk. Phpsuexec is used on the server. Isn't it supposed to fix this problem? Any help is gratefully received.

Thanks
John

if php's creation of files is creating them as nobody/nobody, it's either doing it itself or phpsuexec isn't working.

Did you try reinstalling PHPSUEXEC? Did it work in the first place?

Thank you. Maybe we should try reinstalling php and phpsuexec.

As I were about to recompile apache, after choosing option 6, this error appeared:

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/gcc: Permission denied
make: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 126

Could this be the reason why phpsuexec or php isn't working?

John

Please follow these steps

1)Run the script /scripts/fixheaders

2) check the permission of /usr/bin/gcc .It should be 755

3)Then run the cpanel update script
(a) /scripts/sysup
(b) /scripts/updatenow
(c) /scripts/upcp

After doing all this , run the scripts /scripts/easyapache...it will execute without any errors
