Description of problem: mod_suphp installs /etc/suphp.conf which contains unnecessary data in an invalid syntax. The config file starts like this: # This is the Apache server configuration file providing suPHP support.. # It contains the configuration directives to instruct the server how to # serve php pages while switching to the user context before rendering. # For directives see <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_suphp.html> LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so ... This is just the mod_suphp.conf which is placed into /etc/httpd/conf.d/, too. According to upstream the proposed file starts like this (/doc/suphp.conf-example in upstream tar ball): [global] ;Path to logfile logfile=/var/log/suphp.log ;Loglevel loglevel=info ;User Apache is running as webserver_user=wwwrun ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.3-1
The bad config file will cause errors in the apache error log: ParsingException in IniFile.cpp:130: Illegal line "# This is the Apache server configuration file providing suPHP support.."
