Troubleshooting, something went wrong
| My php script doesn't work or I have an error message.
1. Check that the php script that you are attempting to execute has permissions of no more than 755 - 644 will work just fine normally, this is not something that will need to be changed in most cases.
2. Check that the directory permissions that the script resides within is set to a maximum of 755. This also includes directories that the script would need to have access to also.
3. Check that you do not have a .htaccess file with php_values within it. They will cause a 500 Internal server error, when attempting to execute the script.
The php_values will need to be removed from your .htaccess file and a php.ini put in its place, containing the php directives as explained above.
My script requires 777
So what about php scripts that say they require 777 permissions on some of their directory or files to work, such as a Joomla!, Forums, photo galleries and alike? Due to the transparent nature of phpSuExec this is solved very simply, any directories stated as requiring to be "writable" or "777" can safely be set to 755 (the maximum) instead. This is because, now that the web server runs under your own user account, only your own user account needs full write and execute permissions.
These rules have been applied to .cgi and .pl files historically and are now being applied php files also.
