Running ZenCart under PHPsuexec
I have two questions (but one is a two parter).
1) How do I know if my shared hosting server is setup to run under PHPsuexec, or if/when it will be changed to do so? 2) please respond to this link: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...t_-_PHP_as_CGI Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Servers past SH88 all have phpsuexec, so yes. This means that ZenCart may ask you to set permissions to some folders as 777 but you can only set up to 755. I know that there are copies of ZenCart running fine on phpsuexec enabled servers.

Thanks Kayla, that was fast.
I have a client that I am setting up 7 Corporate Catalogs for, and they will all be running ZenCart. I enjoy my hosting here and would like to host my clients accounts here as well, but first I am experimenting to see how well it goes. I have already hit my first wall. I just uploaded everything, and then I bypassed the step where I chmod the files to 777, as they are showing in my FTP Client that everything defaulted to 777 anyhow. That and I can't really change them beyond a 755 anyhow. For some reason I am unable to get anything but Quote:

So let me see if I understand this correctly. The way the server is set up does not prevent you from setting the permissions higher that 755, it just won't let the php parse if it is higher?
That is a pain if it is true, because when I upload via FTP everything defaults to 777 and ZenCart is over 1900 files and I don't even know how many directories. I guess this might be a time to contact support and have then run a recursive chmod on my entire public_html directory. Cowboy to answer your sig - one more than if only I and dead people read hex, 57007

phpsuexec IMHO is just a royal pain in the butt! One of the many reasons I went VPS so I had control over that. It is not enabled on my VPS.
Oh and have I stated I hate phpsuexec hehehehe

It's a pain in the butt but if a php shell somehow gets on your server and scammers begin to upload scam and spam happily into your open folders.. even larger pain in the butt. =)

Yea that could be a real big pain.
But keeping a close eye on everything 2 to 3 times a day will make that hard too. As support has discovered when I see something odd they get to know about it. But then I'm a nut case too. LaughLaughLaugh

PHP running as CGI (PhpSUexec) will not allow initial creation of group or world write bits, nor, will it allow itself to set either bit after creation. If you are uploading a tarball and extracting it on the server, it's contents will retain the permissions set at the time of taring. The security feature of phpSUexec is to allow only the owner of a file to write, so if either group or world has a write bit, the CGI for PHP will halt in its tracks and deliver an error, usually 500. You can add write bits with FTP after file or folder creation, but, phpSUexec will refuse to honor them. That is your protection. Since CGI needs an execute bit to run a file the apache OPTIONS directive ExecCGI adds an execute bit to all files, making a 644 file in effect 755. (Files pose no problem having a 755 permission.) Folders are not affected by the ExecCGI directive so have to be 755 to start with. If all of your folders and files are in tact with 777 permissions, you can request support change them for you.
