    FastCGI and Shared SSL (mod_userdir)

    Hi

    We are using at the moment suPHP on our shared servers and looking now for a new solution. Looks like FastCGI is the recommendation in my posts here at WHT and in the Cpanel Forum.

    But I just found out, that our shared SSL certificat is not working with FastCGI. Mod_userdir is not compatible with FastCGI.

    I would like to know, how are you offering shared SSL to your customers? With shared SSL I mean using something like this:

    https://secureXX.mydomain.com/~username

    This URL is also used for testing before the customer use our nameservers.

    Is there a solution to use this with FastCGI?

    Hi,

    Apparently mod_userdir is not compatible with fastcgi so the https://IP/~username method of accessing sites does not work. If you want to use mod_userdir, you actually have to disable suEXEC. But at that point FCGI will be similar to DSO. Using this you can do basic site testing.

    Or you can try the following fix.

    Create a .htaccess file under public_html directory and add the following
    AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
    Action php5-fastcgi /cgi-bin/php5.fcgi

    Hope this will fix your issue.

    Thanks, I will try the fix in the .htaccess file. Is there any other solution to use a shared ssl certificate and giving customers a url for testing before they enter the nameservers?
