Apache SuExec won't work with virtual hosts outside /var/www
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.6-15.2
Changing the SuExec docroot from /var/www/htdocs to /var/www will enable
SuExec for people without or with few virtual hosts residing below
/var/www.
However, on "bigger" systems with lots of virtual hosts, one might want to
specify a directory like /home/virtualhosts/www.yourcompany.com, each one
containing docs/ cgi-bin/ logs/ directories etc.
SuExec won't work in such an environment because it expects all cgi
programs in /var/www, and of course symlinks won't do the job.
What's the point of forcing the location of cgi programs to /var/www?
Shouldn't all the directories defined as ScriptAlias for each virtual host
be acceppted as docroot for SuExec? I thought SuExec was intended to make
cgi in a virtual host environment more secure, i.e. to run cgi scripts as
a different user for each virtual host?
Any suggestions on this topic are greatly appreciated...
