i just went through this a couple days ago. > I've been browsing the Apache website and /usr/doc, but there's no easy > explaination of how to implement it. all you have to do is add the suid bit to /usr/lib/apache/suexec. it should look like this for it to work. gotham(root)# l /usr/lib/apache/suexec -rws--x--x 1 root root 9916 Oct 30 19:47 /usr/lib/apache/suexec and then restart apache. check your logs and you should see a line like this if everything is working as expected: [Mon Mar 6 13:39:35 2000] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache/suexec) if you are having problems with it working make sure you check the suexec log file which is in /var/log/apache as well. > I've noticed in several places that it is recommenden not to use SuExec, > but what other alternatives are there if I want cgi-scripts to be > executed with the users uid? cgiwrap is the best other alternative, however it doesn't provide support for ssi's. i use suexec for virtual domains and cgiwrap for ~username stuff. adam.
