I had challenges following the instructions provided for MINT installation as a result of my host (surpass) running phpsuexec.
I received the following reply which means nothing to me - except that it works. I leave it here for the benefit of other…..

The current server setting that you are using are given below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PHP Server API: cgi // That is php is running as a CGI binary and not as an apache module. auto_prepend_file : novalue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please verify this from the info.php page using the link given below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[url=”“]http://www.domain_name.com/info.php[/url]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please add the following lines in the .htaccess instead of using “AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm” in the .htaccess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml .html .htm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will also want to create an .htaccess file for the /mint/ directory with the following line:
php_value auto_prepend_file none [This prevents Mint from tracking itself automatically.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can’t add php values in the .htaccess file since the server is phpsuexec.
If you want to make any changes to the default php.ini file, do it using a local php.ini file. We have copied a php.ini file to your public_html folder.
NOTE :: You can put the file in your root Web directory to apply custom configuration settings to all your PHP scripts, or you can put it in a subdirectory to apply custom configuration settings to a subset of PHP scripts.
