FastCGI problem

Connor0308
Dear all, I face a problem with the configuration of my WHM server when trying to install Seafile. It requires to use FastCGI. To do so, I have included a line of
FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/seahub.fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:8000
to my custom configuration in /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2_4/user/domain/sf.conf. Furthermore I enabled the fcgi handler in the PHP and SuExec configuration area. Nevertheless I get an error when running
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf

Failed to generate a syntactically correct Apache configuration. Bad configuration file located at /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.work.7JHdf_LOxS_1eAnJ Error: Configuration problem detected on line 1 of file /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2_4/user/domain/sf.conf: Invalid command 'FastCGIExternalServer', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration --- /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2_4/user/domain/sf.conf --- 1 ===> FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/seahub.fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:8000 <=== 2 3 4 5ServerName seafile.example.eu 6DocumentRoot /home/deubnero/example.eu/seafile 7Alias /media /home/sf/web/seafile-pro-server-4.4.5/seahub/media --- /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2_4/deubnero/seafile.example.eu/sf.conf ---
What did I do wrong? Thank you for your feedback, br, Connor

    Hello :) cPanel offers mod_fcgid in EasyApache. You are attempting to use a command that's intended for mod_fastcgi, which is not offered. These are two separate modules: mod_fcgid - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.5 Apache module mod_fastcgi Thank you.

    Is there any option to install a fcgi or proxy_fcgi appliance? Or furthermore - are there experiences on how to install Seafile on a WHM/ cPanel based system? Thank you.

    I found the following third-party guide that seems to provide installation instructions for installing Seafile: How to Install Seafile Server 2.0.4 64-bit on Centos 6.5 64-bit | Server Labs ( Build Your Server ) Note this is for a standalone server so it may require some custom changes to work on a cPanel environment. Thank you.

    Thank you for this - it worked out. Unfortunately, I can't get a https-connection working, as this depends on mod fcgi. Any ideas? Thank you for your feedback, br, Connor

    Could you elaborate on the specific error message or issue that's occurring? Thank you.

    Sorry for that - you are right of course. What I am trying to achieve is that I can use SeaFile via HTTPS on sub.domain.tld. As I can't use ModFCGI, I want to use a simple set of mod_proxy rewrite rules. All To do so, I created a seafile.conf in /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2_4/username/sub.domain.tld/seafile.conf to set the VirtualHost on port 443.
    ServerAdmin mail-adress ServerName sub.domain.tld SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile /var/cpanel/ssl/installed/certs/cerfile SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/cpanel/ssl/installed/keys/keyfile SSLCACertificateFile /var/cpanel/ssl/installed/cabundles/StartCom_Ltd__3eb90e29$ CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/logfile LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so RewriteEngine On # # seafile httpserver # ProxyPass /seafhttp http://127.0.0.1:8082 retry=0 ProxyPassReverse /seafhttp http://127.0.0.1:8082 RewriteRule ^/seafhttp - [QSA,L] # # seafile webdav # ProxyPassReverse /seafdav http://127.0.0.1:8080 # # seahub # ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000 RewriteRule ^/(media.*)$ /$1 [QSA,L,PT]
    After that, I restarted Apache via service httpd restart. I get a message saying AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed in the next release /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:1026 [Thu Nov 19 18:47:25.216303 2015] [core:error] [pid 32731] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: AH00547: Could not resolve host name domain.tld/seafilefolder -- ignoring!

    You may need to consult with a qualified system administrator for additional advice and assistance for this third-party application if you do not receive additional user-feedback, as there's no native support for it with cPanel. Thank you.
