Hi,

I've been getting my site back in working order since phpsuexec was put on the servers and ran into a couple of issues. In case anyone else runs into them too, I'm posting them and the solutions here:

1. If you're putting all your .html files through the PHP interpreter, you might have had lines in your .htaccess like this:

RemoveHandler .html .htm .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php

This worked fine before, but will cause a 500 Internal Server Error now. (I don't know where I got the RemoveHandler line from, but there it is.) The correct version is simply:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php


2. If you are uploading large files (podcasts, in my case) in PHP, you probably had lines in your .htaccess to increase the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. Obviously, these will need to be moved into the php.ini file. However, unlike .htaccess, settings in a php.ini file do not apply to subdirectories. (Or at least they didn't in my case.) So if your PHP scripts that accept the uploads are in a subdirectory, you'll need to have the php.ini which increases the max upload size in there along with them.


3. For reasons unbeknownst to me, files named "error_log" have been showing up in directories where I have PHP files. They each contain error messages:

[15-Mar-2006 02:02:52] PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Optimizer in Unknown on line 0

As far as I can tell, there's one of these entries for each request, but I'm not completely certain on that. I would have submitted a ticket on this, but it's not super serious and I didn't want to bother support again since I imagine they're really busy with people whose sites are down as a result of the change.

Well regarding the error_log, it's just a file that reports PHP errors the same way apache's error logs. Depending on the settings in php.ini, that file may or may not be created. But apparently the Zend Optimizer they have on the server is not compatible with the version of PHP. Quickest thing they can do is remove that extension from the main php.ini

Doesn't really need to be there anyway, it's only there for apps encoded by Zend's Encoder, of which most scripts people have are not.
