[BlueOnyx:04909] Re: 5106R YUM updates (testing repository)

[Tobias Gablunsky]

THANK YOU!

..for enabling the suphp-Module.

I really do hope that this will ease administration of CMSes on BlueOnyx
a lot.

Unfortunately I am on a holiday right now ;) and not able to help in
testing.

> These updates contain the following improvements: 
> 
> 
> suPHP support:
> ===========
> 
> suPHP is a special "wrapper" for PHP scripts that allows to 
> execute PHP 
> scripts with the UID of the owner of the scripts. The benefit 
> of this is that 
> if a PHP script needs to create files, those files will also 
> be created with 
> the UID of the owner of the script. So it is no longer 
> necessary to chown CMS 
> sites to the UID "apache".
> 
> For each site that uses PHP scripts you will have to enable 
> suPHP separately 
> if you want to use it. If you don't, then PHP will use the 
> "old" mechanism.
> 
> Additionally a new GUI menu has been added under "Site 
> Management" / "Site" / 
> "Services". It is called "Web Ownership". This page allows 
> you to chown the 
> /web folder of that site to the UID of "nobody" or of an 
> existing siteAdmin. 
> Additionally a server administrator can choose to chown to the UID of 
> "apache".
> 
> PLEASE NOTE:
> ============
> 
> If you enable suPHP, then you MUST use the menu entry "Web 
> Ownership" to chown 
> the site to the ownership of a siteAdmin of that site. 
> Otherwise PHP for that 
> site will not work correctly.
>  
> If you use a third party PHP (such as from Solarspeed.net), 
> then please note 
> that enabling suPHP will revert the site back to the (older) 
> onboard PHP. To 
> fix this you need an updated PHP package that supports suPHP. 
> A PHP package 
> from Solarspeed.net that supports suPHP is 
> "5106R-PHP-5.2.13-SOL2AV.pkg", 
> which just has been released. 
> 
> 
> base-subdomains:
> =============
> 
> There was an error in the previous "Subdomains" 
> implementation that prevented 
> PHP from working on subdomains. This has been fixed. You may 
> have to remove 
> and have to re-add the subdomain(s) for this to be fixed, though.
>  
> 
> As mentioned: 
> ===========
> 
> These updates are in the "testing" YUM repository, which is 
> NOT enabled by 
> default. To enable it, edit /etc/yum.repos.d/BlueOnyx.repo 
> and change the 
> "enabled=0" switch under "[BlueOnyx-Testing]" to "enabled=1".
> 
> Please help testing these updates and let us know if you find 
> any errors or 
> problems.
