PHP-cgi breaks my mod_rewrite

[Sykoi]

On the advice of a few people on another forum, I had my sysadmin install SuPHP - so that my upload script would work properly, however now my mod_rewrite is broken.

You can view the problem here: http://www.eyesoute.com/gallery/view-29

It is supposed to show the item with id 29, as you can see. However it shows the gallery index (As if /gallery/ was typed in without the view-29)

The .htaccess file:

#.htaccess


RewriteEngine On
#This will force trailing slashes
   RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule .* - [L]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^*(css|png|jpe?g|gif)



RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/?$         $1.php?args=$2  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$  $1.php [QSA,L,NC]

My very framework relies on the .htaccess working this way... I can turn it off, however I would really rather not - so if you have any idea how I can fix this, please do tell.

And on a related note, is it possible to run PHP under a user and not use cgi_php?

Would also like to note that my Mediawiki wiki is now completely broken, and refuses to load - as it relies on similar rewrite rules.

um... PHP should run under the user of the domain. So probably "eyesoute" is the username it should be running as. You can change this in the httpd.conf file in the VirtualHost directive.

As for the mod_rewrite stuff.... I'm not too big on it, but SuPHP shouldn't really mess with it.

You can use Virtual Hosts to control what users run php, and such based on the domain it was accessed from?

Yes. That's how suPHP works. A typical VirtualHost directive looks like this:

<VirtualHost 12.12.12.12:80>
   ServerAlias www.domain.com
   ServerAdmin [e-mail]
   DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
   ServerName domain.com

   <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
      suPHP_UserGroup username groupname
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule mod_php4.c>
      php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/username:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule mod_php5.c>
      php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/username:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"
   </IfModule>

   SuexecUserGroup username groupname
   CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
   CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com combined
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/

</VirtualHost>

The suPHP_UserGroup line defines which user and group the PHP CGI will run as. Otherwise, I believe it defaults to your current apache user.
