We have been using apache forever (since 1.3). With 2.4 unless I am missing 
something we have to build apache putting the following in make.conf:

    SUEXEC_DOCROOT="/home"
    SUEXEC_USERDIR="htdocs"

This seems to be required and not documented to support the relativelly 
traditional setup of having the user's site in /home/user/htdocs. I could find 
no way of specifying this on the make statement.

The default setup:

suexec -V
  -D AP_DOC_ROOT="/usr/local/www/data"
  -D AP_GID_MIN=1000
  -D AP_HTTPD_USER="www"
  -D AP_LOG_EXEC="/var/log/httpd-suexec.log"
  -D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
  -D AP_UID_MIN=1000
  -D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"

Can not be overridden without recompiling suexec.c. If all this is correct a 
document change would be helpful.

If I am off-base I would like to know but I thought I would try this rather than 
a useless PR if that was the case. Thanks,

DT Denault
