>Description:
Hello,

in "bsd.apache.mk" SUEXEC_DOCROOT is set to "${PREFIX}/www/data". But the "htdocsdir" from apache22 is set to "${PREFIX}/www/apache22/data" (in "patch-config.layout"). Thus, in a normal build, suEXEC can't work "out of the box".

Regards,
Carsten

>How-To-Repeat:
install www/apache22 with suEXEC from the ports
- grep "^DocumentRoot" /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
- suexec -V (look for AP_DOC_ROOT)

See the different diretories.

>Fix:
a) set "datadir" from apache22 to ${PREFIX}/www" (like in apache20)

or b) make a "if apache22 SUEXEC_DOCROOT=${PREFIX}/www/apache22/data" in "bsd.apache.mk".

BTW:
Don't you think it's better to set SUEXEC_DOCROOT to Apache's "datadir", instead to the "htdocsdir"? Because "cgi-bin" is not a subdir of the "htdocsdir", it's also a subdir of the "datadir".
