Hi, On a new server (WHM/Cpanel), in cpanel it shows that PHP is installed but actually it seems that its not: opening php files it just shows the code !

Any solution ?
as always Help would be apprecited

Try different tags such as <? ?> <?php ?>

Also make sure you have this line in your httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Thanks for that I had the same problem - Also using CPanel.
I fixed php, now I have a problem with .cgi's.

It appears as though .cgi is only working outside of the cgi-bin directory - Any clues as to how to get this working?

I get 500 Internal server error when accessing files within cgi-bin but outside of cgi-bin they run OK, so it's not a ASCII or permissions thing.

Anyone help?

Steve

Make sure these are in the httpd.conf

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


Does that fix it?

Craig.

Hi Craig,

The php is fine now, I did add those lines.

The problem is now with cgi only running outside of the cgi-bin.
Any clues?

Cheers

Steve

Do you have suexec installed?

Hi Matt,

Not too sure, I think it is installed though, how do I check and fix the problem if it is? I tried running it via WHM last night but it didn't do anything.

Thanks for the help.

Just checked whereis suexec and it appears to be there, don't know if it's running though.

Steve

yeah the problem was they werent specified in the httpd, though first they were but i dont know what happend so i didnt check it anymore thinking that the problem should be something else.

!!! Beside adding the application types make sure to add the module lines too !!

To check if SuExec is enabled go into webhost manager as root and then click the "Enable/Disable SuExec" when you click this, it will tell you if SuExec is enabled or not..

If it IS enabled, run the "Fix insecure permissions on cgi scripts. (requires suexec)"

Also, if that does not help at all:
tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
run a cgi script, check what error its giving.. paste it here :)

Craig.

Thanks Craig,

suexec is running (I should look at WHM before delving into shell sometimes :-)

Anyway, I to access the interchange cart in my cgi-bin to test, I get the following in my apache error logs

premature end of script headers: /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/c$

File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/500.shtml

Any clues??

Thanks

Steve

Have you run "Fix insecure permissions on cgi scripts. (requires suexec)" ?

This is also in WHM or /scripts/fixcartwithsuexec ?

There are a load of "fix*something*withsuexec" scripts in /scripts/ check it out :)

Craig.

Thanks Craig,

Yes I did try through WHM first (Suexec) - No go.

I tried just about every fix* script too.
I also have more than just interchange to test cgi - so it's not interchange related as my other scripts don't run in cgi-bin either.
They do however run outside cgi-bin.
Hair pulling stuff. Any more suggestions?

Cheers

Steve

Yeh! Fixed!

Well one of those scripts fixed everything - Not too sure which one it was now :-) Thanks for the pointers - Still some hair intact.

Cheers

Steve

Glad i could help :)

Craig.
