suphp on etch
 

After looking over the new howto for suphp install-suphp-on-various-linux-distributions-for-use-with-ispconfig-2.2.20-and-above
for the debian portion I noticed that their was no mention of changing any lines in "mod_suphp.c" as their was on the previous howto
suphp_debian_etch_ispconfig

I have previously installed suphp according to the older howto. So my question would be should I recompile? and or what did changing those lines accomplish, any thoughts?

You don't need to recompile.
The changed line made it possible that you could place the suPHP directives directly in a vhost, without a <Directory> directive. The new ISPConfig version writes a <Directory> stanza, that's why the source code change isn't needed anymore. :)

Thanks Falko, Had to ask since I couldn't find anything really regarding that when I looked over the readme for suphp last night.

@Falko,

The http://www.howtoforge.com/install-su...2.20-and-above is really usefull!
Thanks for this work again, it will help a lot of ISPConfig administrators, who want to use suphp on their ISPConfig server.

I think it is a good idea not only to explain howto install suphp, but also how to configure it for different Linux distributions, like the /etc/suphp.conf file for example.
I mention this, because after installation configuration is still necesarry.
Just one example, if you install suphp on Debian, you need to change wwwrun into www-data within /etc/suphp.conf. The permissions and handlers within /etc/suphp.conf need to be configured as well.

The new ISPConfig versions (since 2.2.20) come with their own /etc/suphp.conf, so you don't have to modify that file. :)

Ok then, i understand that the default /etc/suphp.conf is not used anymore.
Can you tell me where the suphp.conf is, which is used form ispconfig 2.2.20 and up?

It's /etc/suphp.conf. The old one got copied to /etc/suphp.conf_date.

Thanks Falko,

One more question:
I understand that /etc/suphp.conf will be overwritten everytime we perform an update for ispconfig?

Yes, that's true.
