suPHP - 500 Internal Server Error

[Administrator]

This error  is usually related to a permissions/ownership issue.
suPHP requires that the files are owned by the user name. Permissions on php files should also be set to 644 (-rw-r-r-), folder permission must be 755.

How to change ownership on the files and folders

option no.1. (this will fix all permissions for the user account)
go to CWP menu --> User Accounts -- > Fix Permissions and select user

option no.2.
For one file eg. /home/test/public_html/index.php

Code Select Expand

chown USERNAME:USERNAME /home/test/public_html/index.php

For all files in /home/test/public_html folder (RECOMMENDED)

Code Select Expand

chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /home/test/public_html/*



How to change permissions on the files and folders

For one file eg. /home/test/public_html/index.php

Code Select Expand

chmod 644 /home/test/public_html/index.php

For all files in /home/test/public_html folder (RECOMMENDED)

Code Select Expand

cd /home/test/public_html
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;


If not of the above helps than you can check .htaccess file
you can check, disable, rename .htaccess file as rules inside this file can cause this issue.

You can also tail/monitor error log using command

Code Select Expand

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

yes this is ownership or file location error.

all files needs to be located in users home folder public_html and need to be chowned as user owner.

you need to provide all details about error message which you get in your browser, file permission and ownership including all parent folders.

[carmageddon63]

[erm3nda]

yes this is ownership or file location error.

all files needs to be located in users home folder public_html and need to be chowned as user owner.

This is quite confuse to me. I 've read somewhere in that forum like "you must add an alias..." but seems NO alias will work untill you have suPHP installed.

You say "in the same folder". It's that 100% true? I know user it's a must of suPHP, but don't know much about folder permisions.

I have poste same problem in a new thread, phpmyadmin related here http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/aplications/phpmyadmin-alias-error-500-internal-server/

Sorry for duplicity. Search function in forum IS NOT GOOD. It's hard to find certain posts, even if the search words are right.

EDIT: Seems not easy but seems that we can solve. Take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1753871. Seems we have to edit vHost templates to make it work onthefly for new domains too...

Regards.

Please be aware that the instructions in the Ubuntu Forum link above is for debian based builds only and need to be 'adapted' to CentOS/RHEL based systems.

[Administrator]

all files must be in proper document root (home folder) of the user account or they will not work, this are security features of SuExec.
