70_mod_php5.conf

When going to https://localhost/admin/ after a fresh install I'm greeted by a Forbidden message. When I check the error log it says

/var/log/apache2/localhost_ssl_error_log

Code:

[Mon May 28 20:11:44 2007] [error] [client 192.168.0.100] client denied by server configuration: /usr/lib/php5/bin/php-cgi

to fix the problem I modified the PHP5CGI handler in modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf to read

Code:

# handler for PHP 5 scripts
<IfDefine PHP5CGI>
    ScriptAlias /php5-cgi /usr/lib/php5/bin/php-cgi
    Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi
    AddHandler php5-cgi .php5 .php
    AddDirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml

    <Directory /usr/lib/php5/bin/>
        Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
</IfDefine>

Do you know of a better solution?

Actually I modified the template for /etc/conf.d/apache2 to use the -D PHP5 flag. It makes more sense to use the non-cgi version of PHP. I used this only for low-memory servers but this should not be the default.
