Drew, Yes. Yes. No, and Yes. From: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html "The suEXEC feature -- introduced in Apache 1.2 -- provides Apache users the ability to run CGI and SSI programs under user IDs different from the user ID of the calling web-server." suexec will not run the script if it is owned by root. I simply desire to run scripts as the virtually hosted user. Virtual hosting is clearly enabled by default. cgi as root? Yes, bad, very bad. Please correct me if I am wrong. mike On Thu, Mar 14, 2002 at 09:54:50AM -0500, Drew Weaver wrote: > Suexec and virtual hosts are two different things entirely.
