PHPSuExec Being Enabled On metroid.vosn.net

Hello,

In an effort to increase the security on our servers, starting tomorrow March 28th, we will enabling PHPSuExec on some of our busier shared servers. We will be doing this upgrade on our metroid.vosn.net server and as a result you may notice some of your PHP applications fail to function properly.

The most common error that you will encounter will be 'Internal Server Error' which occurs when there is a any php_flag commands defined in the .htaccess file that you have on your site. To correct this, simply create a file inside your public_html folder titled php.ini and place the PHP commands that you had in your .htaccess file in there. An example of how the formatting differs between the .htaccess and the php.ini is below.

Example .htaccess -
php_flag register_globals On

Example php.ini -
register_globals=on

You may also encounter this error if the permissions on the directory are 777. With PHPSuExec the highest permission you can have on a folder is 755. You can alter the permissions via the File Manager in your control panel or via an FTP client.

Example 777 directory - drwxrwxrwx
Example 755 directory - drwxr-xr-x

If you encounter these errors or any others, feel free to open a support ticket and our technicians will be happy to assist.

Thank You.
