Topic: suPHP = non-existent?

Hey Remi,

Can you please provide us a way to install suPHP with your repo? I've tried to install PHP 5.4 (and 5.5) plus the "standard" suPHP RPMs and they don't "work".

Maybe you can give us a hint?

Thanks a lot!

Re: suPHP = non-existent?

First, using php for >15 years, I never need this module wink
If you need to run a script as the owner of the script, you probably have a design issue wink
If a script run on the same account that the script, it can change the script... very poor for security.
A script should never have write permission on scripts (only in some very specific directory, ex upload or cache)

suPHP is not a PHP extension but a Apache module.
mod_suphp is not available in EPEL >= 6.
Don't know why, probably you can ask the EPEL maintainer.

Hey Remi,

Thanks for your fast reply!

Most of CMSs (including WordPress) need suPHP in order to benefit from the "auto-update" feature.

I've asked the EPEL maintainer but didn't got any kind of reply. It would *really* be nice if you could embed suPHP on your repo. It would be a really "deal" for most "newbs" like me.

Appreciate!

Re: suPHP = non-existent?

auto-update is just a crazing stupid featue.

yum install wordpress
yum update wordpress

Not need for such a thing.
