| == Introduction == This procedure installs PHP 5 and Apache 2 and configures Apache (and the shell) to run PHP scripts as CGIs. This is an alternative to using PHP as a module in Apache. |
== Purpose == When completed, this procedure allows users to securely run PHP files from {{{~/public_html/}}} to manipulate their own files. |
Purpose
When completed, this procedure allows users to securely run PHP files from ~/public_html/ to manipulate their own files.
Procedure
Install Apache 2 and PHP 5. {{{sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-cgi }}}
Configure PHP 5 to run .php scripts from the shell. {{{sudo update-binfmts --install PHP /usr/bin/php5-cgi --extension php }}}
Enable necessary Apache modules.
{{{sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo a2enmod suexec sudo a2enmod include sudo a2enmod userdir }}}
Enable Apache's handling of PHP files. Add the following line to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf {{{AddHandler cgi-script .php }}}
Configure the userdir module. Uncomment the following lines in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. {{{UserDir public_html UserDir disabled root
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>}}}
Add the ExecCGI option. The block should now appear as below. {{{UserDir public_html UserDir disabled root
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec ExecCGI
</Directory>}}}
Reload the Apache configuration. {{{sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload }}}
Notes
If implemented as described, this configuration requires accessing phpMyAdmin via {{{http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php }}} http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ will not work.
