CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I recently changed my php handler on my apache server from dso to fcgi because I wanted to take advantage of suexec on some apps but civicrm gives a blank page with this setting. My guess is civicrm is running as nobody or so, because it only works with dso.
Drupal works in both modes. I just need pointers on which file permissions/ownership settings to check. I also have ssh access.

thanks.

thanks Lobo.

I only have one entry in the logs:

[Sat Jun 13 07:06:06 2009] [notice] mod_fcgid: call /home/kidsmeal/public_html/index.php with wrapper /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5

even though I refreshed the page several times.

then I crazily set all files + folders to 777, it still did not work.
then I set owner + group to nobody, and no luck!

so I set them all back.
Then, I changed the server settings a few times and found the drupal part of the site works with all, but the civicrm will only work when SuEXEC is disabled, and not using SuPHP.


thanks.

thanks Lobo,
I just checked the civicrm log file and I had this entry:

Hi Lobo,
thanks for the help.

I found out that deleting the sites/default/files/civicrm folder, and refreshing the contribution page, fixed the problem!
So now it works with Su. I'm not sure how those two are related but... glad it's over!
