I am under the impression that suPHP is the better/more secure way of running PHP with Apache. In addition you don't need suEXEC to do so. Am I incorrect in these assumptions? What are the benefits of running PHP as a CGI(if you don't mind me asking) ? Mark -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Grant Peel Sent: Wednesday, 29 June 2011 2:13 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + SuExec + (fast-cgi or mod_fcgid) Hello Everyone, I am researching how to run PHP as CGI with Apache's Suexec module. Up to this point we have been using PHP as an Apache mod, but are looking to move to the more secure solution. I am not sure this is exactly the right list top post to so if anyone knows a better one please let me know :-) I am using FreeBSD (8) as the OS, Apache 2.2, PHP5 with several extensions installed. What I am looking for is to have PHP run as a CGI wrapped with suexec, and to have the fastcgi module, or, mod_fcgid. I have never set this up before so if anyone knows of a usefull 'how-to' that would be great. I have been reading through http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-apache22-fastcgi-php-configuration/ and it seems to have some good hints. Of course, once we get this all figured out, I will post a complete step by set here.
