Custom PHP per directory weird behavior

[dmitriy.r]

So Ive noticed rather weird behavior of PHP selector. So were using lsapi on all of our cPanel server and configured them correctly in order to use custom PHP versions for some directories (added in /etc/container/php.handler lines like "application/x-lsphp52 /opt/alt/php52/usr/bin/lsphp" .
So when we add string "AddType application/x-lsphp52 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml" to .htaccess, PHP version switches correctly. However it loads without necessary PHP modules (like mysql) while they are selected in PHP selector for this version:

# cl-selector --list-extensions=php --user dincomua --version=5.2

bcmath

dom

gd

hidef

htscanner

imap

json

mcrypt

mysql

mysqli

We noticed, that alt_php.ini loads only for currently selected PHP version, while for other PHP versions only empty default.ini loads:

dincomua@shared [/root]# ls -l /opt/alt/php5*/link/conf/

dincomua@shared [/root]#

The content of default.ini below:

dincomua@shared [/root]# cat /opt/alt/php52/link/conf/default.ini

;extension=mbstring.so

;extension=bcmath.so

;extension=dom.so

;extension=json.so

;extension=gd.so

;extension=posix.so

;extension=sockets.so

;extension=xmlreader.so

;extension=xmlwriter.so

;extension=zip.so

;extension=fileinfo.so

dincomua@shared [/root]#

So the question is - how to connect selected in PHP selector modules for user, for PHP versions wich differs from the default one? As currently theres no point in switching between PHP versions inside one account (on directory basis).

Sorry, if this topic was previosly discussed, as I havent found it

[bogdan.sh]

Unfortunately this is related to how php-selector works now... And so far there is no nice solution for it, quite same is described in this thread: http://old.cloudlinux.com/solutions/...m18/topic1121/

The fix is not ready yet.

[bogdan.sh]

As said in that older thread - a draft fix is:

- remove /opt/alt/php53/etc/php.d directory

rm -rf /opt/alt/php53/etc/php.d

- create a symlink on it to /etc/cl.php.d/alt-php53/

 ln -s /etc/cl.php.d/alt-php53/ /opt/alt/php53/etc/php.d

This should be done for all php versions.

Thanks for your explanation Bogdan

But today, when weve installed completely new server, we are not able to switch a PHP version using .htacces like it was before. So there is simply no effect on adding AddType directive in .htaccess (which we took from your documentation http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.htm...d_lsapi.html):

[15:06] [shared01 ~] # cat /home/usertexample/public_html/.htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-lsphp .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

AddType application/x-lsphp53 .php53

[15:06] [shared01 ~] #

[15:00] [shared01 ~] # cat /etc/container/php.handler

application/x-lsphp44 /opt/alt/php44/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp51 /opt/alt/php51/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp52 /opt/alt/php52/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp53 /opt/alt/php53/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp54 /opt/alt/php54/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp55 /opt/alt/php55/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp56 /opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/lsphp

application/x-lsphp70 /opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/lsphp

[15:06] [shared01 ~] #

Ive tried to reinit cagefs and provide reinstallation of lsapi by running:
/usr/bin/switch_mod_lsapi --uninstall
/usr/bin/switch_mod_lsapi --setup
/usr/bin/switch_mod_lsapi --enable-global

But it didnt give any effect on situation, as file with extension .php53 still runs default PHP 5.6.

Thanks in advance.

I got the solution via ticket. So in order to make php per directory working you should:
1. Create symlinks like Bogdan described
2. Replace in /etc/httpd/conf/conf.d/lsapi.conf following strings:

- AddType application/x-httpd-lsphp .php .php4 .php5 .php53 .php54 .php55 .php56 .php6 .phtml
- AddHandler application/x-httpd-lsphp .php .php4 .php5 .php53 .php54 .php55 .php56 .php6 .phtml
with the following ones:

- AddType application/x-httpd-lsphp .php .php4 .php5 .phtml .php6
- AddHandler application/x-httpd-lsphp .php .php4 .php5 .phtml .php6

3. In .htaccess instead of adding AddType or AddHandler you should add the following:

SetHandler application/x-lsphp53

In my case this solution worked rather well.
