Overriding php values doesn't work in Plesk 10.x

Hi all,

Unless I'm missing something here, the old method of creating a vhost.conf file in the conf directory for a vhost does not seem to work anymore.

I have the following in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/>
php_admin_value register_globals on
</Directory>

Then:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain domain.com

But register_globals is still set to off for the vhost and I don't particularly want to turn it on for the whole server since it will be deprecated soon enough. All it seems to do is create a new http.include file in the vhost's conf directory each time.

I tried restarting apache just in case but it still doesn't work.

Any ideas how to get this working in 10.x?

Thanks
 
Hi, Matthew

Could you please post here the output of the following commands:
1. ls -la /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/
2. cat /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/<httpd.include>

Please replace <httpd.include> with the correct include file - find the one with the greatest numeric prefix.

Hi EugeneL,

Below is what you asked for, please note, I have replaced the domain with domain.com and the ip address with xx.xxx.xxx.xx

[root@aries ~]# ls -al /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112 May 11 02:14 /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf

[root@aries conf]# cat 13050764810.42563300_httpd.include

Hi, Matthew,

It looks like you switched PHP into CGI/FastCGI mode and try to use vhost.conf to override PHP configuration variables.
It won't work, vhost.conf and vhost_ssl.conf will do something only when PHP will be run as Apache module.

Unfortunately in 10.2 there is no documented way how to set up custom php.ini file for site in case of CGI/FastCGI mode.
 
Hi EugeneL,

That's correct, PHP is running as a CGI module so that scripts are run by the owner rather than apache.

Perhaps this is something that should be sent to the developers, since there's no reason why this shouldn't be possible?

Thanks
Matt
 
Our developers already have this feature request and this feature will be implemented.
But I can't give you any ETA about this.
 
Any news about this issue? We reply heavily on the vhost.conf and would like to use it in combination with CGI
 
There is a solution since Plesk 9 when php is running as cgi/fastcgi.
Check the kb article:
http://kb.odin.com/en/9059

I have applied it to Plesk 10 and it works.
On the second step, when you give the command:
# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf |grep CGI_PHP
you won't get anything but file cgi_wrapper is still at same location:
/var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper
 
You must log in or register to reply here.
