In ISPmanager you can enable PHP-scripts for a website. To do so, enable the PHP option and enter its parameters when creating or editing a WWW-domain. Learn more under Add a WWW-domain.
Supported PHP modes:
- Apache module;
- CGI;
- FastCGI (Apache);
-
FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM).
For more information about PHP settings in different modes please refer to the article PHP settings.
Apache module
Peculiarities:
- dynamic content is handled by the PHP module of the Apache web-server;
- PHP parameters are set globally for all WWW-domains of the users with this mode. Only an administrator can modify the settings in Web-server settings → PHP → Settings;
- you can select only one PHP version that will be applied to all ISPmanager users;
- a fast mode. However, the fastest one is “FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM)”.
Perform the following operations to activate the module:
- Install Apache-MPM-ITK or Apache MPM-Prefork, the PHP module. Learn more under Set up a web-server .
- Go to Accounts → Users → Edit enable the option PHP as Apache module.
- Select the mode when creating or editing the WWW-domain. Learn more under Add a WWW-domain.
The Apache configuration file of the WWW-domain:
<FilesMatch ".ph(p[3-5]?|tml)$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch ".phps$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source </FilesMatch> <IfModule php5_module> php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f <administrator email>" php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/var/www/www-root/data/mod-tmp" php_admin_value session.save_path "/var/www/www-root/data/mod-tmp" php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/www-root/data:." </IfModule> <IfModule php7_module> php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f <administrator email>" php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/var/www/www-root/data/mod-tmp" php_admin_value session.save_path "/var/www/www-root/data/mod-tmp" php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/www-root/data:." </IfModule> <IfModule php5_module> php_admin_flag engine on </IfModule> <IfModule php7_module> php_admin_flag engine on </IfModule>
CGI
Peculiarities:
- dynamic content is handled by Apache as CGI;
- PHP parameters are set for every user. A user can modify the settings in WWW → PHP → Settings;
- you can select a PHP version for every WWW-domain that uses this mode;
- the slowest mode.
Perform the following operations to activate the module:
- Install Apache-MPM-ITK or Apache MPM-Prefork, the PHP module. Learn more under Web-server configuration.
- Go to Accounts → Users → Edit enable the option PHP as CGI.
- Select the mode when creating or editing the WWW-domain. Learn more under Add a WWW-domain.
The Apache configuration file of the WWW-domain:
<FilesMatch ".ph(p[3-5]?|tml)$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5 </FilesMatch> ScriptAlias /php-bin/ /var/www/php-bin-isp-php52/<WWW-domain owner>/ AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml Action application/x-httpd-php5 /php-bin/php
FastCGI (Apache)
Peculiarities:
- dynamic content is handled by Apache as FastCGI;
- PHP parameters are set for every user. A user can modify the settings in WWW → PHP → Settings;
- you can select a PHP version for every WWW-domain that uses this mode;
- a faster mode that “CGI’, but slower than “Apache module” and”FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM)”.
Perform the following operations to activate the module:
- Install Apache MPM-Prefork and the PHP module. Learn more under Set up a web-server .
- Go to Accounts → Users → Edit enable the option PHP as FastCGI (Apache).
- Select the mode when creating or editing the WWW-domain. Learn more under Add a WWW-domain.
The Apache configuration file of the WWW-domain:
<FilesMatch ".ph(p[3-5]?|tml)$"> SetHandler fcgid-script FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-bin/<WWW-domain owner>/php </FilesMatch> Options +ExecCGI
FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM)
Peculiarities:
- dynamic content is handled by PHP-FPM;
- PHP parameters are set for every user. A user can modify the settings in WWW → PHP → Settings;
- PHP-FPM doesn’t support .htaccess rules;
- the fastest mode.
Perform the following operations to use the module:
- Install Nginx, PHP-FPM FastCGI. Learn more under Install a web-server.
- Go to Accounts → Users → Edit enable the option PHP as FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM).
- Select the mode when creating or editing the WWW-domain. Learn more under Add a WWW-domain.
The Nginx configuration file of the WWW-domain:
location @php { fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE "sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f <administrator email>"; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/php-fpm/www-root.sock; fastcgi_split_path_info ^((?U).+.ph(?:pd*|tml))(/?.+)$; try_files $uri =404; include fastcgi_params;
