phpcgi vs phpcli

[floyd]

phpcgi fixes file permissions problems with files being owned by apache,

But if I switch to phpcgi does that mean that the users will have to change their scripts at all? Can php still be embedded into html documents?

The problem you may have is if the files running php aren't owned by the site user. You may need to fix file ownership:

# cd /home/USERNAME/domains/DOMAIN.EXT/
# chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME public_html
# chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME private_html
Don't forget to replace USERNAME both places where it appears with the proper username (case-sensitive, usually all lower case), and also replace DOMAIN.EXT with the proper domain name, always in lower-case.

So if I switch to phpcgi and change the ownerships to the files all the users' php scripts will continue to function as normal? Even the php embedded in html files?

[nobaloney]

When I embed php in html files I use a php extension. Do you?

.php files should continue to work, but of course I have no idea of there are some commands which will give you problems. We've not had any problems so far.

I personally don't use php at all. I am more concerned about other users/customers on the server.
