I think i may be having some problems after the upgrade to gator 42. It seems that my forums no longer exist. The exact error message i am receiving is " The forum you selected does not exist. " also trying to get to the admin pannel in the forums also does not work.

Hi Dave,

I have a reseller account on g35, and two of my clients have Sunshop shopping carts. (http://www.turnkeywebtools.com) I've written to their support and they are 'not sure' if the PHPSuEXEC will have any effect on the carts. Have you seen any problems with shopping carts in general, or these in particular? Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Dwight

Most software that was made for PHP4 will work with PHPSuExec. Normally, shopping carts only have permission issues when they are upgraded. If that is the case, its fairly quick to fix.

Hi Dwight,
We haven't actually seen many issues at all. The migration code is pretty good with setting the correct permissions on files, and has sections for specific scripts.

The only script that we have seen tickets for recently is the Gallery2 scripts, which a quick permission change fixes. I am just finishing up a revision for Gallery2.

If you want to get ahead of the game, you could try using PHP5 on your sites, and add make a file called ".mod_php_migration" in /home/USER/, adding the file will cause the script to skip your account if you are already setup with PHP5.

If there are any issues at all with the migration, it's usually a quick fix. The PHPSuEXEC Migration on the shared servers barely raised any trouble tickets at all.

Hi Dave,

I have noticed that you have suggested:

Does this mean that you do not use PHPSuEXEC is you are using the PHP5 CGI?

Thanks,

Paul

do a reverse ip on your domain name:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=yoursite.com

and look for something like aerio.websitewelcome.com or gator300.hostgator.com

My upgrade seems to have gone well, at least I haven't heard any complaints yet... and the sites I've checked seem fine.. my question is, from now on, when I install a PHP script, what should I do differently than I did before?

Hi Dwight,
Thats good to hear that you haven't had any issues yet. Most people have very little problems with the migration.

When installing new PHP Scripts, you will never have to use chmod 777, it will actually produce an "Internal Server Error". If a script says to chmod 777 a file or directory, usually 755 is fine since php scripts now run as your user name.

There are a couple syntax differences for your htaccess files. Before you would use "AddType", now you use "AddHandler". PHP settings will not work from your htaccess file, you will have to create a php.ini file where the script is in order for custom php settings to be used. If you go to the following forum post, we have some examples of the changes http://forums.hostgator.com/showthread.php?t=8822

I always used to CHOWN my 'parent' directories as 'nobody' and CHMOD them to 755 and have my scripts handle everything within them and it used to work fine. I guess however that this will make everyone elses life easier though :P

Thumbs up Re: Mod_php to PHPSuEXEC migration.
A have a reseller account on the impreza server. It has just been upgraded. I must say that everything went fine thanks to the great HG technical crew.

As far as I saw, the permissions were automatically changed to safe ones (644 for files and 755 for directories), a php.ini file was added and my .htaccess files were edited and everything related to php flags was removed !

Well Done!

A small glitch though. I host several Joomla! sites and have the address URL rewrite apache option on. Few of my sites broke and I had to edit the .htaccess file and change line 51:

Options FollowSymLinks

and add a '#' comment

# Options FollowSymLinks

Moreover, the php.ini file had by default register globals = On so I had to turn it Off...

Thank you again HG
