Download and compile PHP-5.4.x as described in
http://linuxadmintips4u.blogspot.in/2013/05/complile-and-install-php-from-source.html
Once you compiled Apache-2.4.x with PHP-5.4.x, you can follow the steps shown below to compile suphp-0.7.1
Complile SuPHP
[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src/
[root@vps src]# wget http://www.suphp.org/download/suphp-0.7.1.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# tar -xzf suphp-0.7.1.tar.gz
***The package, suphp-0.7.1.tar.gz cannot install with Apache2.4.x. You will get errors while using 'make'. You need to patch it before using it.
***There is no need to patch suphp-0.7.1 if you are compiling with Apache-2.2.x and Apache-2.0.x
[root@vps src]# wget -O fix1.diff https://sites.google.com/site/sudosuin/fix.diff
[root@vps src]# patch -Np1 -d suphp-0.7.1 < fix.diff
patching file configure.ac
patching file src/Makefile.am
patching file src/Makefile.in
[root@vps src]# cd suphp-0.7.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Locate the location of 'php-cgi' binary file and the binary file location must be specifiled as --with-php=<php-cgi path>
[root@vps ~]# locate php-cgi
/usr/local/php/bin/php-cgi
Locate the location of 'apxs' binary file and the binary file location must be specifiled as --with-apxs=<apxs path>
[root@vps ~]# locate apxs
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
Locate the location of 'apr-1-config' binary file and the binary file location must be specifiled as --with-apr=<apr-1-config path>
[root@vps ~]# locate apr-1-config
/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@vps suphp-0.7.1]# ./configure \
--with-logfile=/var/log/suphp.log \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-php=/usr/local/php/bin/php-cgi \
--with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config \
--with-setid-mode=paranoid \
--with-gnu-ld \
--disable-checkpath \
--with-apache-user=apache
[root@vps suphp-0.7.1]# make
If there is any error in 'make' try the following two steps also. You can find header files missing error in 'make'. In that case you have to do the header files copy steps as shown below.
Here i have installed apr in /usr/local/apr , apr-uil in /usr/local/apr-util and apache in /usr/local/apache. If you have installed these in any other locations, you have to modify the document root of apr, apr-util and apache in the following two copy commands.
[root@vps ~]# cp /usr/local/apr/include/apr-1/*.h /usr/local/apache/include/
[root@vps ~]# cp /usr/local/apr-util/include/apr-1/*.h /usr/local/apache/include/
[root@vps suphp-0.7.1]# make install
Once you have successfully compiled suphp, you have to do the following configurations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a file named /usr/local/apache/conf/suphp.conf with the following contents.
[root@vps ~]# cat /usr/local/apache/conf/suphp.conf
LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php
suPHP_UserGroup apache apache
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a file named /etc/suphp.conf with the following contents.
[root@vps ~]# cat /etc/suphp.conf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
