I go to access the system, thereby triggering the initialization of the database, and that is when I get the 403.

Has anyone ever installed MT on Surpass? What has to be done differently from the instructions to be able to use it on this server?

I am unfamiliar with MT and thought you were talking about a php application that I looked up to find it is written in perl. PhpSUexec does not apply to perl applications. I now suggest asking support if perl / cgi-bin settings are correct.

So what happens with programs like Coppermine Gallery, PhpBB, Invision Board, etc. that require CHMOD 777? Will they still be able to work?

Yes, those instructions are written for php running as an Apache module, while here php is run as CGI. Just ignore all directions to CHMOD anything. The default settings when using FTP to upload scripts will work. If any script internally tries to CHMOD a file or folder to 777, php will simply ignore that command.

I know it's an old threat, however I have a problem with a script installation too.
I had uploaded the script via a ftp client and following the installation instruction I've chmod'ed the necessary files and dir's. I didn't know that it is not necessary to do that. After I've got some errors (ex. pics, not showing where use to be or warnings like this one:
"Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/username/public_html/index.php:8) in /home/username/public_html/init.php on line 3 ")
I've searched the forum for similar problems and found that chmod should not be aplyed. So I've chmod'ed all files and dir's back to 755/644 like default, but those problems are still exists.
My question is, I must delete all files and upload again the all script?( The script is arround 60 megs and over than 3800 files so it takes a lot of time. ) There's no other way?

I must mention that I've installed this script on more than 6 servers 'till now and for more than 50 times so I'm quite an expert with the script and there's no way that I've missed something.
Another question is that I have a reseller account with SH and I intent to use it for my clients who will buy hosting from me only to run this script and I'm wondering if I who claim to be an expert with the script I get so many troubles what should my clients do!?

Can anyone tell me how and if it is possible to make my reseller account run PHP normaly (as an Apache module I think) so the files and folders can be chmod'ed normaly.!?

Thank you very much.

There is no way to have PHP run as an Apache module on surpass shared servers, however, what is the name of the script? And a header error shouldn't have anything to do with permissions, I've had that happen before when there was whitespace before/after the <?php ?> tags in template files.

The header error didn't appear before I've chmod'ed the files, it was displayed after the chmod operation. That's why I think it's because of chmod.
