mod_ruid2 crashing httpd process threads on fresh default install

A default install of DA on CentOS 8 (./setup.sh auto) results in apache httpd 2.4(.41) with php 7.2(.24) as mod_php/mpm_prefork with mod_ruid2 enabled.

mod_ruid2 is causing all httpd worker threads to abort, even on static files such as the default static "it's working" pages.

mod_ruid2 compiles with no errors, but causes thread aborts both in mod_php and php-fpm. I understand mod_ruid2 may not recommended on php-fpm, but the default of mod_php I would expect it to work without issue, and it should still at least work with php-fpm (appears to on CentOS 7) even if not recommended.

Currently disabling mod_ruid2 results in working behavior.
 
I've changed CustomBuild defaults to PHP-FPM on CentOS8. Thank you for the report!
 
The issue here is less that mod_php was the default over php-fpm, but more that mod_ruid2 is enabled by default, and causes either to crash. Are you making a change to the default value for mod_ruid2?

Yes, because it'd have mod_ruid2=no as default with php-fpm installation.
 
When performing this:

cd / usr / local / directadmin / custombuild /
./build update
./build set mod_ruid2 yes
./build mod_ruid2
./build rewrite_confs

Do I get a notification:
mod_ruid2 does not support CentOS8.

Is there a workaround for this??
Now it is so that all cache files are written as apache: apache and not as the user of DA.
This is now causing considerable problems for us

would like to hear

Use php-fpm, not mod_php

i am using "php-fpm" under php2_mode, til php4_mod.
i don't think i can use "php-fpm" under php1 if i want to load multiple php versions into DA?

@ Richard G : this message will be displayed after in the rewrite_conf

@Zhenyapan : is the problem with word not supported also solved under centos8?
 
"problem with word not supported" I don't know what are you talking about, give me link.
 
as you see in the start of this topic - mod_ruid may cause a lot of problems, thats why DA solved this by simplest way - just disables it for centos8, so you can try to install it manually for own risk. But better decision is to use php-fpm.
 
the cache file will then be rewritten in the correct way. with a configuration like php-fpm? (so under user:user and not as apache: apache)

Where did you get that idea from? Mod_ruid2 has never cause problems, that's pure nonsense and I'm using it on all servers for 12 years.
As far as I could see from other non-directadmin posts, it has to do with Centos 8 OS itself, not with DA disabling it.
Probbly the mod_ruid 0.9.8 needs to be updated, it doesn't work on Centos 8.

as i see mod_ruid2 causes problems with http2, there a lot of messages like that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59370491/centos-8-with-vhost-suexec-php-and-http2
so I don't use mod_php in centos8, on centos7 we use it only when clients ask, on centos 6 it was by default + own php-cgi php_version_selector
 
Unfortunately my question has not been answered yet. Is there another way to run cache files or upload files under the user and not under apache?

instead of apache: apache -> user: user.

it is indeed only the case on CentOS 8 and not under Centos 6 and 7. They handle it well.
 
Under php-fpm the php process runs as the user, so uploaded files are owned by the user... And like mentioned before, your first php version can also be a php-fpm type...
