How To Fix Looks like your PHP handler doesn't support CloudLinux PHP Selector

⚠️ Issue

In the CloudLinux Dashboard, you may see the following error:

Check compatibility for PHP Selector Looks like your PHP handler doesn't support CloudLinux PHP Selector and as a result does not work http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.html?compatiblity_matrix.html [It looks like you do not have mod_suphp or mod_suexec installed. CloudLinux PHP Selector doesn't work properly without it] Please, see: https://docs.cloudlinux.com/command-line_tools/#check-phpselector and try to fix issue to have working selector

🖥️ Environment

  • PHP Selector

  • ea-apache24

  • CloudLinux

🐞 Cause

The required ea-apache24-mod_suexec package is missing.

  • If mod_ruid2 is installed, it also conflicts with PHP Selector.

✅ Solution

🔧 Step 1 – Install mod_suexec

# yum install ea-apache24-mod_suexec 

🔧 Step 2 – If mod_ruid2 is installed, remove it

# yum remove ea-apache24-mod_ruid2
# yum install ea-apache24-mod_suexec 

🔧 Step 3 – Restart Apache

# service httpd restart 

🔧 Step 4 – Update CageFS skeleton (if using CageFS + PHP Selector)

# cagefsctl --force-update 

✨ After this, CloudLinux PHP Selector will work properly with ea-apache24.
