	Problems with PHP CLI check on cPanel

Solution Recent versions of cPanel running PHP 5.2.6 with suPHP can have trouble with the PHP CLI check. The page will execute endlessly, with numerous PHP CGI processes spawning until Apache kills them off.

This issue can be overcome by taking the following steps:

Open

/opt/suphp/etc/suphp.conf

Find the line that reads:

;PATH environment variable
env_path=/bin:/usr/bin

Modify this line to read:

;PATH environment variable
env_path=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

Apache will search /usr/local/bin first, which will cause the system to use the PHP CLI first, as opposed to the PHP CGI.

This issue only seems to affect recent versions of cPanel/WHM that are using PHP 5.2.6. Previous versions do not appear to be affected.
