PHP Processing in .htm & .html files

Hi,

I am trying to enable PHP processing in .htm & .html pages for a legacy website.

On our cPanel server we simply use addHandler in the .htaccess file. But with CWP we are getting errors that it can't be found.

htaccess:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php81 .php

Error Log:
Caused by SystemException in API_Linux.cpp:444: execve() for program "/opt/alt/php81/usr/bin/php-cgi" failed: No such file or directory

Any guidance much appreciated.

Are you running php-fpm? Or PHP via CGI?

I was using cgi but when that failed I switched to php-fpm to see if that resolved it but it still doesn't work.

We are happy to use CGI or FPM as it's only a development server. Whatever gets it to work.

I am using php-fpm for performance reasons and to give each account its own possible choice of PHP version. In your use case, it probably doesn't matter. Except I could guide you better if you switch back to php-fpm, since that is what I use

It doesn't sound as if PHP 8.1 is installed properly under the CGI PHP. Can you confirm that it is present and built successfully? Does it have an ini file? Otherwise, php-fpm for 8.1 should be:
/opt/alt/php-fpm81/usr/bin/php
and in fact, I also have:
/opt/alt/php-fpm81/usr/bin/php-cgi

Thanks for the assistance.

Its now working. I don't think I changed anything accept re-compiling PHP 8.1 from the control panel.

However, I have noted that phpinfo() call from a php vs htm files shows different server API being used.

.htm returns Server API: CGI/FastCGI
.php returns Server API: FPM/FastCGI

I am using this handler in the .htaccess

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php81 .htm .html

Should I be using something else so they are both using FPM?

I am not 100% sure but I guess:

When you put:

Code: [Select]

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php81 .htm .html
into .htaccess your .htm, .html files are handled by suPHP. That is why you see

Code: [Select]

Server API: CGI/FastCGI
To solve this you need to customize the Apache template file (you wrote about .htaccess that is why I am sure you use Apache ).

The Apache php-fpm template files are located in the folder:
/usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/conf/web_servers/vhosts/httpd/php-fpm/
Probably you need to change the lines:

Code: [Select]

        <IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
                <FilesMatch \.php$>
                        SetHandler "proxy:%backend_fcgi%|fcgi://localhost"
                </FilesMatch>
        </IfModule>

inside the template files to something like:

Code: [Select]

        <IfModule proxy_fcgi_module>
                <FilesMatch \.php$|\.htm$|\.html$>
                        SetHandler "proxy:%backend_fcgi%|fcgi://localhost"
                </FilesMatch>
        </IfModule>
then rebuild virtual hosts and restart Apache.

Sorry, I use a free version of CWP on my test box, so I don't use php-fpm there and can't be sure it is 100% working solution (make backups before you modify something ).
