phpsuexec and joomla

**manolis** · #1 (**permalink**) 24-10-2009, 01:44

Hello,

I am having difficulties to understand how i can make my sites that are build on Joomla to work with phpsuexec.

I am not using any php flag on my .htaccess files so as far as i have find out by using google and reading articles this should be fine along with the 755 for my directories.

But...i still get 500 error when i enable the phpsuexec.

Can anyone help me ?

Hi,

In most cases it is either a permission error or a bad command in the .htaccess file.

Having 777 permissions on your scripts or the directories they reside in will cause a "500 internal server error" when attempting to execute them. Phpsuexec will refuse to write or read on directories set with such permissions.

Again, using .htaccess with the required PHP prefix of "php_value" will also cause a 500 internal server error. All "php_value" directives should be removed from .htaccess files to avoid the error. Instead, you can create and use your own local php.ini file to manipulate the desired php settings.

In case you've already reviewed the files to confirm about the two possible reasons for the error, I can only ask you to supply us with the domain name on your server that is facing the issue.

Alternatively, you can initiate a Live Chat from our website UK Web Hosting, Website Hosting, Web Hosting UK, Web Hosting and get this resolved.

Hi,

I am sure i don't have any bad command in the .htaccess file and just to be sure i created a clean joomla installation without a .htaccess file. but i still get this error

Hello Manos

I have updated your support request. suphp was not compiled properly due to which all php files were showing internal server error. Recompiling php with apache did the trick and fixed the error. Site "www.dentinpalevo.com" is working fine now
Please feel free to update the ticket if you need further assistance.
