How to add apache module to php_handler

[Elliott_Veares]

Hi all and welcome to my first post. I recently upgraded php to php 5.5.15 with this script:

https://gist.github.com/Stayallive/92e841e7dd89c8509c15/download#

and in that script at the bottom a php fast-cgi handler was added with the following code.

/usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler \
    --add \
    -displayname "5.5.15" \
    -path /php/php-5.5.15/bin/php \
    -phpini /php/php-5.5.15/etc/php.ini \
    -type module \
    -id "module-5.5.15"

However I also want to enable php 5.5.15 as an apache module; how would I do this?

Also if relevent: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/php_handlers_control --list shows:

 id:                 display name:   version:    type:             cgi-bin:                           php.ini:
 module           5.4.33             5.4.33      module         /usr/bin/php-cgi                 /etc/php.ini
 fastcgi            5.4.33             5.4.33      fastcgi         /usr/bin/php-cgi                 /etc/php.ini
 cgi                 5.4.33             5.4.33      cgi              /usr/bin/php-cgi                 /etc/php.ini
fastcgi-5.5.15    5.5.15             5.5.15      fastcgi         /php/php-5.5.15/bin/php-cgi  /php/php-5.5.15/etc/php.ini

Any help much appreciated,

Regards: Elliott.

Hello Elliott_Veares,

you might have a look at the Parallels - KB-article 118378 :

How to enable multiple PHP Versions in Parallels Plesk 11.5 and Plesk Automation 11.5 on Linux
​

In your current php_handler - list you already find the answer to all possible handlers ( Apache-module = module / CGI-Application = cgi / FastCGI-Application = fastcgi ) and with the KB-article you should find it quite easy to add the desired handlers.

Thanks, but not a lot of help; i all ready have php 5.4 as an apache module using mod_php and wanted to upgrade that.

Is it possible to upgrade from php 5.4 without going the cgi/fcgi route?

Edit: Just installed PHP 5.6.1 as FastCGI and is working fine, may just stick with that.

(Why does plesk come with php 5.3?, so out of date!)

Hi this guide does not work for adding a module. You describe to use "module" as the type but this errors out with information that the type parameter only takes entries in the format of /^(cgi|fastcgi)$/. Therefore module cannot be used as per this guide.

Hi David Walker,

could you pls. clarify, what makes you think, that the apache - module ( mod_php ) is NOT an additional module for your apache webserver?
