Thread: How to know if suPHP is enabled ?

I have this unmanaged VPS with Kloxo. Yesterday I updated Kloxo and now custom Permalink returning 404 error. I think this might be something related suPHP. anyone know how to find if it's enabled or not in a Kloxo server ?


.

There is a very short script that will produce a list of your php features. You just upload a file to the server and open it in a browser.

Code:

<?php  // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL phpinfo();  // Show just the module information. // phpinfo(8) yields identical results. //phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);  ?>

Just copy that to a text editor and name the file something like phpinfo.php. The name is unimportant as long as it has the .php extension. Then upload to the root directory of your server and open the file in your browser. It will give you a lot of information about your php installation.

I tried phpinfo already and it shows VPS has CGI/FastCGI version. You need to run PHP as CGI to enable suPHP but it doesn't show if its enabled or not.

VPS has Kloxo and yesterday I ran latest update. Since then WP blogs in this vps giving me 404 errors for inner pages. Since I use custom link structures problem must be related to mod_rewrite. Also There is no httaccess file in blog so I think suPHP is running. I have no idea how to sort this out.

From other posts I suspect that your php knowledge is far ahead of mine. Good luck with the problem.

Thanks for the help wink0r.

I really need some luck to get this problem sorted out. I posted the question at WHT and that's where we can get all web hosting experts.

I don't understand what is connection with suPHP and URL rewrite?
First check if mod_rewrite is enabled.
Also you need to have .htaccess file with rewrite rules there in order for custum links to work.
I assume that you uploaded zip file and unzipped it at the VPS, but .htaccess file is not there "unzipped", or if not .htaccess file is somehow lost after that update.
So please look into your orig files (WP backup)at your HDD(PC) and see if there is .htaccess file if yes, then use ftp and transfer that file to appropriate location.

.htaccess doesn't work when you enable suPHP. This is why I want to know if suPHP is enabled or not. I don't know how mod_rewrite will work without .htaccess.

Did you tried to upload .htaccess to your root folder from PC(backup)?

That's one of the first things I did check. uploaded .htaccess with all right script but still got 404 error.
