Enable htscanner for .htaccess to work with suPHP/FastCGI

February 27th, 2014

First, install htscanner from WHM > Module Installers > PHP Pecl > htscanner

This will allow php_value and php_flag to work with php.

Next for it to also work with Apache without the need to use ifmodule

# cd /usr/src/
# wget http://pecl.php.net/get/htscanner-1.0.1.tgz
# tar -zxf htscanner-1.0.1.tgz
# cd htscanner-1.0.1

IMPORTANT: Make sure apache has mod_so and then proceed remaining steps

# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l | grep mod_so.c
mod_so.c

Compile the module by

/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c -a -i mod_htscanner2.c

Restart apache

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller –update

And a final check

# grep mod_htscanner2.so /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule htscanner_module modules/mod_htscanner2.so

php_value and php_flag should now be working fine in .htaccess
