PHP upload: Files are assigned to nobody

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 10:09:18 +0000

PHP uploaded files will generally get uploaded with the user nobody when using mod_php. This is the apache module for PHP which means the file will be uploaded with the apache user. In order to work around this you can modify your code to chown the file to the appropriate ftp user. The best option is to use PHP in FCGI mode or install SuPHP. This will ensure the files will always upload using the folder owner id.

Using cpanel this can be installed using the easyapache tool.

PHP: installing magicwand

admin — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:24:53 +0000

** REQUIRED ** ImageMagick version :: 6.3.5-9
Last-known-good ImageMagick version :: 6.3.5-9

1.) Check out the latest version from magicwand servers

svn co https://www.imagemagick.org/subversion/MagickWandForPHP/branches/MagickWandForPHP-1.0.7 MagickWandForPHP-1.0.7

I would recommend going to http://magickwand.org/ to verify the latest version , at the time of the post the latest was 1.0.7

2.) untar the compressed file using tar xvzf filename.tar.gz

3.) cd into the new folder and run phpize
4.) run ./configure
5.) make
6.) make test
7.) make install
8.) make clean

note * on cpanel the make install will install the extension in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ *
for all other distros you will need to move the magickwand.so to your extension folder. you can locate your current ext_dir by issuing the following command php-config –extension-dir

or added the following to your php.ini file
9) add extension=magickwand.so ** you may need to note the dir location of the module such as =/folder/magickwand.so
Magicwand

Cpanel: change Default page

admin — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:55:24 +0000

The default page is located at /usr/local/apache/htdocs/

I would not recommend change the docroot within the httpd.conf file as this may get reset during apache updates.

Cpanel: Account Creation Status: failed (Unable to add group

admin — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:14:02 +0000

Error:
Account Creation Status: failed (Unable to add group

Solution:

Uninstall ncsd using the following commmand

rpm -e ncsd

Then remove any locked under /etc
rm -f *.lock

you may have a ptmp file under /etc also this will need to be removed or renamed.

Restart the server and try to create the account again

NCSD is caching the passwd file and cpanel is unable to write to it .

Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_fantastico.cgi: Please check /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log for the exact error.

Solution:
