Re: Debian Apache package
Actually I got it wrong the doc root for suexec is not /usr/lib/cgi-bin, I
did a little more research and this is what I found on the apache package
page:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/apache.html
in the apache_1.3.14-2.diff.gz file I found the following lines(9877-9905):
--- apache-1.3.14.orig/debian/rules
+++ apache-1.3.14/debian/rules

So the doc root for suexec is /var/www though I'm not sure how the
"--includedir=/$(inc)" flag is modifying it.
If there is anybody out there that can shed some light on this for me and
how I'd go about modifying this file and or recompiling apache to
reconfigure suexec, I'd truly appreciate it.
