Suphp Installation

Installing suPHP on a server using cPanel and EasyApache is a straightforward process but requires careful attention to detail. suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners, enhancing the security of the server. Here's a detailed guide on how to install and configure suPHP:

Step 1: Launch a Screen Session

Before you start, it's recommended to run EasyApache within a screen session. This ensures that the process continues running even if your SSH session is interrupted.
screen -S ea
This command starts a new screen session named "ea."
Step 2: Run EasyApache

Now, initiate the EasyApache script. This script provides a text-based interface for configuring Apache and PHP.
/scripts/easyapache
Step 3: Select Mod SuPHP

Within the EasyApache interface, navigate to the "Exhaustive Options List" and find "Mod SuPHP." Select it by pressing the spacebar. Make any other adjustments as needed for your server environment, then proceed to compile and build Apache and PHP with your new settings.

Step 4: Build the Configuration

After selecting Mod SuPHP and any other required options, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the build process. This might take some time depending on your server's specifications and the options selected.
Step 5: Configure suPHP

Once EasyApache has finished building, you can enable suPHP on your server with the following command:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf 5 none suphp 1

This command sets PHP5 to use suPHP as the PHP Handler and enables suEXEC, which is necessary for suPHP to function correctly.
Step 6: Verify the Configuration

To ensure that suPHP has been correctly configured, use the following command to display the current PHP handler setup:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current

You should see output indicating that PHP5 is using suPHP and that suEXEC is enabled.
Step 7: Restart Apache

For the changes to take effect, restart the Apache service:
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
Step 8: Check suPHP Log and Adjust Permissions

Finally, you can check the suPHP log file for any errors or messages:
/usr/local/apache/logs/suphp_log
If you encounter errors related to file permissions, suPHP requires directories to have 755 permissions and files to have 644 permissions. Use the following commands to set permissions correctly for PHP files and directories within your web content:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
Run these commands within the root directory of your website(s).

Conclusion

Following these steps will install and configure suPHP on your cPanel server, enhancing the security by executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners. Be sure to monitor the suPHP log file for any errors and adjust file permissions as necessary to avoid common issues related to improper file permissions.

Install Imagick on Cpanel Server

Imagick is a PHP extension that utilizes the ImageMagick software suite for image processing. It's widely used for creating, editing, composing, and converting images. This guide will take you through the steps of installing ImageMagick and the Imagick PHP extension on a cPanel server.

Step 1: Installing ImageMagick

1. Access Your Server:
Log in to your server as the root user via SSH:

ssh root@server

2. Navigate to the Source Directory:

cd /usr/local/src/

3. Download ImageMagick:

wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz

4. Extract the Archive:

tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz

5. Configure and Install:

Navigate to the ImageMagick directory (the name might vary based on the version):

cd ImageMagick-*

Now, compile and install ImageMagick:

./configure make make install

6. Install Perl Module:

If you need PerlMagick, the Perl interface for ImageMagick, continue with these steps:

cd PerlMagick perl Makefile.PL make make install

7. Confirm ImageMagick Installation:

Verify that ImageMagick is installed:

which convert

Expected output: /usr/local/bin/convert

Step 2: Installing Imagick PHP Extension

1. Download Imagick for PHP:

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-2.3.0.tgz

2. Extract the Archive:

tar -zxvf imagick-2.3.0.tgz

3. Navigate to the Imagick Directory:

cd imagick-2.3.0

4. Prepare Imagick for PHP:

phpize ./configure make make install

5. Update PHP Configuration:

Edit the php.ini file used by your PHP installation. The location of this file can vary, but typically it's found in /usr/local/lib/php.ini:

vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini

6. Add Imagick Extension:

In the php.ini file, add the following line to enable the Imagick extension:

extension="imagick.so"

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Restart the Web Server

After updating the PHP configuration, restart Apache to apply changes:

/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

Conclusion

You've successfully installed ImageMagick and the Imagick PHP extension on your cPanel server. This setup allows you to leverage powerful image processing capabilities directly from PHP scripts. Test the installation by running a PHP script that utilizes Imagick functions to ensure everything is working correctly. Remember to regularly update both ImageMagick and the Imagick extension to maintain security and functionality.
