i updated vmin and webmin via webmintool to the latest version yesterday .
now i have a wired problem, all " old" vservers works perfectly, but if i add a new one and try to access a folder in it , i get the following error : “can’t apply process slot for xxxx”
if i try to view the website via browser , i get this error :
"The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2 PHP/5.2.0-8+etch7 mod_ruby/1.2.6 Ruby/1.8.5(2006-08-25) mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c Server at test1.clanwelt.net Port 80"
i found some posts in php5 forums , which describe this issue, but none of their solutions works for me …
have you tried downgrading from the most recent version of php5 to the most recent version of php4? I personally find that php4 is extremely stable and I have not come across any problems with it, the last time I tried php5 it was incompatible with all the forum boards available… anyways, give the downgrade a try, its not like there is much of a functionality loss, you might have to reconfigure a couple things but thats what i would do.
I’ve seen more of the errors now via email, and it looks like permission problems. Permissions on scripts run under suexec MUST NOT be write enabled for group or other. Any permissions looser than 755 are not going to work, and anything greate than 750 is probably still a mistake (though it’ll run under suexec as long as it isn’t writeable by group or other).
We’ll know more after the follow up from richard.
I’ll also point out that there are some docs about troubleshooting these kinds of problems here:
Debian-40-etch-32-LAMP:/home/test1/public_html/catalog/install# php -l install.php
No syntax errors detected in install.php
test with : php5 install.php gives me the source code of the file , php4 install.php results in : command not found
test1 is the server owner , so the permissions should be ok so far, as i think .
if i try to access the page by browser :
http://test1.clanwelt.net i get an "directory of the public folder ( its ok, cuz there is no index )
but if i try to switch to the catalog , i get an error …
permission for the catalog folder are 750, so everyone should be able, to open it.
weiered thing is , if i install the same software on an " pre-update" vminserver , it works like a charme …
