Installing FastCGI has broke squirrelmail and phpmyadmin

crimson · 12-11-2009, 09:57 AM

I'm on debian lenny and recently installed FastCGI for php in ISPManager via this post: http://forum.ispsystem.com/en/showth...hlight=fastcgi

Now, I can't get into phpmyadmin or webmail.

If I try to restart apache2, I get:

Code:

Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf:
Invalid command 'php_admin_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

After a lot of searching, I found that fastcgi apparently cannot be used with php_admin_flags (as those are php_mod calls) and therefore the two files

phpmyadmin.conf:

Code:

Alias /x /usr/share/phpmyadmin/
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
	AllowOverride All
	RemoveHandler .php
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
	php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpMyAdmin:/tmp:.:..:./:../
	php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /tmp
	php_admin_value include_path /etc/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpMyAdmin:.:..
	php_admin_value session.save_path /tmp
	php_admin_value safe_mode off
	DirectoryIndex index.php
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>

and squirrelmail.conf:

Code:

Alias /x /usr/share/squirrelmail
<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
	RemoveHandler .php  .php3 .php4 .phtml
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php  .php3 .php4 .phtml
	php_admin_value open_basedir none
	php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /tmp
	php_admin_value session.save_path "/tmp"
	php_admin_value include_path .:..
	php_admin_value safe_mode off
	DirectoryIndex index.php
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>

won't let apache restart since they make calls to php_admin_value. If I comment these lines out, I can restart apache, but then of course phpmyadmin and webmail don't work.

Is there a way around this? Can these files be rewritten to work with fastcgi?

Thank you for any help!

Are you have mod_php (libapache2-mod-php5) installed?

You need see like this by dpkg -l command

Code:

# dpkg -l | grep php
ii  libapache2-mod-php5    5.2.0-8+etch7                   server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag
ii  php5-cgi               5.2.0-8+etch7                   server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag
ii  php5-cli               5.2.0-8+etch7                   command-line interpreter for the php5 script
ii  php5-common            5.2.0-8+etch7                   Common files for packages built from the php
ii  php5-mysql             5.2.0-8+etch7                   MySQL module for php5

If you have no this module (but I do not know how you can removed this) you need install by apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 command

Also this module must be loaded (enabled) into apache configuration via symbol link

Code:

server:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# ls -l php5.load
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 10  2009 php5.load -> ../mods-available/php5.load
server:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# ls -l php5.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 10  2009 php5.conf -> ../mods-available/php5.conf
