Default Phpsuexec

I am considering installing it for increased security, anybody already using it? Any advice?

When did you join us? It's installed by default on all our VPS with panels now.

Boy, good question.

I've got it installed. I only had problem with one script (enom API) that I had to change around when I transferred my site from another server.

This was a big help for me (Googled and found it) http://www.onlinemalls.com/cp/news.html

I'm not sure . . . seems in my reading a lot of people have it disabled. Me being a dumby will keep it on because I figure the better protection I have the better off I am.

Question becomes, if I transfer accounts who use Fantastico installs on a server with it disabled, do they have to reinstall it after I transfer them to my server with it enabled?

Thanks

I've joined less than a week ago. It doesn't seem to be installed on my VPS. I've got a .htaccess file with
Code:
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag session.use_trans_sid off
and it's NOT causing a 500 error.

It will totally skip over .htaccess; you'll need to use a php.ini within the dir to get it to read php_flag directives. As Charles said, submit a ticket and we'll take a look for you.
Best way to check if phpsuexec is enabled or not; is to creat a phpinfo.php containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> If it's enabled, it'll 500, if not, let us know. =)
