suPHP is enabled on SmallPond servers :
1. PHP scripts executes under your user/group level.
2. Files or directories no longer need to have 777 permissions, (only needs 755 permission for folders and 644 for php files).
In fact, having 777 permissions on your scripts or the directories they reside in will not run and will
instead cause a 500 internal server error when attempting to execute them to protect you from someone
abusing your scripts.
3. Your scripts and directories can have a maximum of 755 permissions.
4. Files and directories also need to be owned by your user/group.
5. Using .htaccess with php_value entries within it will cause a 500 internal server error when attempting to
access the scripts.
All php values should be removed from the .htaccess files to avoid the 500 internal server error.
Creating a php.ini file to manipulate the php settings will solve this issue. The php.ini file is a
configuration file that the server looks at to see what options have been turned on, off or set to a
number different from the defaults that we have set for the server.
