Suphp is not working on freebsd

So you recompiled a FreeBSD server with suphp but its still using mod_php? Not to worry there is an easy solution to this using /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf

The syntax is: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf <Default PHP> <PHP4 Handler> <PHP5 Handler> <Suexec>

In the example below the server is running PHP 5. PHP4 is not installed and we want suphp and suexec. The command to run is

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf 5 none suphp 1

Example Run

[root@server1 /usr/local/apache/conf]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf 5 none suphp 1
php.conf updated to:

# This file was automatically generated by the Cpanel PHP Configuration system
# If you wish to change the way PHP is being handled by Apache on your system,
# use the /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf script or the WHM interface.
#
# Manual edits of this file will be lost when Apache is updated.


# SuPHP configuration for PHP5
LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
<Directory />
    suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5
</Directory>

# End of autogenerated PHP configuration.

php flags!

With suphp you can no longer use php_value or php_admin_flag. Instead look into suPHP_ConfigPath to make a php.ini file for each vhost that might need to use those.
