To debian-user, debian-isp and apache-ssl as I think answers may be ssl and debian specific.

So I got the apache-dev and libc6-dev packages matching my slink libc6, installed them with dpkg and hey presto the compile worked. Then I had to work out where apache-ssl expects to find suexec if it's going to use it. That's more tricky. In httpd.h in /usr/include/apache-1.3 I find: httpd.h:#define SUEXEC_BIN HTTPD_ROOT "/sbin/suexec" That has "HTTPD_ROOT" which isn't in the apache suexec html documentation but seems to point me to /sbin as the debian location for suexec. So I put it there, chown root, chmod 4711 and restart apache-ssl. It _DOESN'T_ print a line saying it's using suexec there or anywhere else. I call a file with owner and group chris (UID=1000 = the minimum I set in suexec.h) within the directory tree of apache-ssl, not setuid, nor setgid, directory not writable by anyone else. I get: > Forbidden > > You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/cp on this server. and error.log shows the same and the suexec log I specified in suexec.h isn't created. So I'm not invoking suexec using apache-ssl on my server. Anyone know where I'm going wrong?! Platform is i386 Debian Hamm, libc6 & libc6-dev updated to slink as I'm using sendmail 8.9.1 which forced that. Apache-ssl is out of hamm. Server running standalone (of course) with four virtual hosts, IP based, two http, two https.
