Topic: wordpress and php5-cgi

[Stefano]

Hi all

just installed wordpress (updated to last release)  and php5-cgi  via wiki howto.. so far so good

Now I want wordpress use php5-cgi, so I copied 92wordpress fragment in /templates-custom/ tree and edited this way:

Code: [Select]

{
     my $status = $wordpress{'status'} || "disabled";
     return "    # wordpress is disabled in this VirtualHost"
            unless $status eq 'enabled';

   $OUT = "";
    my $allow = 'all';
    my $pass = '0';
    my $satisfy = 'all';
    my $name = $wordpress{'Name'} || 'Wordpress weblog';
   
    for ('exit-if-none')
    {
      if ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'})
      {
          if ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'} eq 'none')
          {
           next;
          }
          elsif ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'} eq 'local')
          {
            $allow   = $localAccess;
            $pass    = 0;
            $satisfy = 'all';
          }
          elsif ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'} eq 'local-pw')
          {
            $allow   = $localAccess;
            $pass    = 1;
            $satisfy = 'all';
          }
          elsif ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'} eq 'global')
          {
            $allow   = 'all';
            $pass    = 0;
            $satisfy = 'all';
          }
          elsif ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'} eq 'global-pw')
          {
            $allow   = 'all';
            $pass    = 1;
            $satisfy = 'all';
          }
          elsif ($wordpress{'PublicAccess'} eq 'global-pw-remote')
          {
            $allow   = $localAccess;
            $pass    = 1;
            $satisfy = 'any';
          }
      }
     
      $OUT .= "#------------------------------------------------------------\n";
      $OUT .= "# wordpress - $name\n";
      $OUT .= "#------------------------------------------------------------\n";
     
      {
        if (exists $wordpress{'URL'})
        { $OUT .= "Alias  /$wordpress{'URL'}  /opt/wordpress\n"; }
      }
     
      $OUT .= "Alias  /wordpress  /opt/wordpress\n";
     
      $OUT .= "\n";
      $OUT .= "<Directory /opt/wordpress>\n";
      $OUT .= "    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php\n";
      $OUT .= "    php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/wordpress\n";
      $OUT .= "    Options None\n";
      $OUT .= "    order deny,allow\n";
      $OUT .= "    deny from all\n";
      $OUT .= "    allow from $allow\n";
      $OUT .= "    php_value mysql.default_host $wordpress{DbName}\n";
      $OUT .= "    php_value mysql.default_user $wordpress{DbUser}\n";
      $OUT .= "    php_value mysql.default_password $wordpress{DbPassword}\n";
      $OUT .= "    AddHandler php5-cgi .php\n";
      $OUT .= "    Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi/php-cgi\n";

      if ($pass)
      {
          $OUT .= "    AuthName \"$name\"\n";
          $OUT .= "    AuthType Basic\n";
          $OUT .= "    AuthExternal pwauth\n";
          $OUT .= "    require valid-user\n";
          $OUT .= "    Satisfy $satisfy\n";
      }
      $OUT .= "</Directory>\n";
    }
}

expanded template,checked syntax with

Code: [Select]

httpd -t

and restarted e-smith-httpd service

my httpd.conf file, for wordpress, says:

Code: [Select]

Alias  /wordpress  /opt/wordpress

<Directory /opt/wordpress>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/wordpress
    Options None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    php_value mysql.default_host wordpress
    php_value mysql.default_user wordpress
    php_value mysql.default_password ***************
    AddHandler php5-cgi .php
    Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi/php-cgi
</Directory>

but if I run phpinfo() from /opt/wordpress/index.php I see:

PHP Version 4.3.9

any hint?

edit by Cactus: removed the password

[cactus]

Code: [Select]

    Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi/php-cgi


i think the problem lies in above line. IMHO the Action keyword first parameter is a filetype (see also http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_actions.html#action). I am not sure if you set the proper file type here, AFAICT there is no php5-cgi file type. Did you copy this line from somewhere?

As far as I know the type should be application/x-httpd-php. But perhaps the php5-cgi handler is valid, but not configured in your case, see the link to the documentation I supplied for some examples.

[Stefano]

Hi Cactus..

I copied from here

thanks

[cactus]

I copied from here

Then I am puzzled.

[cactus]

Then I am puzzled.

Then again... is your php5-cgi executable located at the location you specify (/php5-cgi/php-cgi)?

Code: [Select]

<Directory /opt/wordpress>
    ....
    AddHandler php5-cgi .php
    Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi/php-cgi
</Directory>

Does PHP5 work anywhere? Try enabling it on the Primary iBay and upload a phpinfo() file to check.

Also, try following the wiki instructions rather than editing the Wordpress template itself. That way the direction to load PHP5-CGI will likely be parsed by Apache before it processes the other options.

yes, it works flawlessy on ibays, just tested

finally I found the problem (after having dinner...): wordpress is in /opt but I'm using it as primary site, so I have:

Code: [Select]

applying php directive to Primary ibay solved the issue

thank you

[David Harper]

Glad to have stumbled across the answer!

well, you are right.. I meant lunch, but after I solved the problem, I fell asleep

wordpress is in /opt but I'm using it as primary site..

From your directory listing it appears you have created a whole lot of symlinks to the files in /opt
Is that how you made access to /opt functional (from the Primary ibay) ?
Did you need to use/create any other aliases or do anything else eg along the lines of the web application redirect howto ?

Mary, IIRC, I just followed this suggestion, adapted to wordpress
