• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Using SuEXEC

P

pstretch

New Pleskian
I'm running Joomla 1.5 on a Webfusion VPS 2.0 hosted shared server running Ubuntu 6.06, Apache 2.0.55, PHP 5.1.2 and Plesk 8.3.

I want to use suEXEC to help with the permission issues associated with PHP based CMS packages such as Joomla. I know that mod_suxec is already running on the server and I have root access.

Can anyone point me towards an idiot's guide to setting up and using SuEXEC with my domain? I've looked at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/suexec.html but I don't understand enough to work from this. I believe that I need to create a vhosts.conf file (which I'm okay with) but not exactly what needs to be in it in addition to the SuexecUserGroup directive or what the syntax should be. Is this all I need or is there more to it?

Much of the advice I have read elsewhere assumes a certain directory structure which isn't the same as my server. Given my limited linux experience I'm struggling top 'convert' much of the other advice to fit my situation.

Any help or advice would be very helpful

Thanks
 
SuExec is for SSI and CGI, not for php. You need sometihng like phpSuExec or suphp or someting along those lines.
