I'm utterly confused here and are at my wits with this. Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm trying to setup Apache's suEXEC to work with my setup and just having a hard time. I have users that have their own domain, and the way Apache's configured is that each virtual host simply points to said user's 'www' folder (I don't use the ~user setup.) Without suEXEC this works fine. However, this also means they need to allow the apache user running their CGI's to write in their file space. Not a desirable effect. So, how do I setup suEXEC properly for this?
apache's docroot /var/www/html
users are under /home/user their space under /home/user/www/ with cgi's under /home/user/cgi-bin/
Right now, Apache complains that the cgi's aren't in docroot, which if I understand the documentation correctly, should be apache's docroot. However, they live in the user's directories so they can do as they wish with them. Moving cgi's to apache's docroot is pointless because users don't have access to that.
Something just doesn't make sense to me and I'm sure it's so simple. I just can't see it.
Anyone?
