    Hi,

    I'm trying tu use php in cgi mode with suexec.

    I had no problem with this setup previously, as I used to compile apache
    myself, so I could specify whichever path I want for docroot and userdir.

    I used to specify --suexec-userdir=cgi-bin, and to put a php binary in a
    $HOME/cgi-bin directory for each user, and each virtualhost had the
    following configuration:

    user foo
    group foo
    DocumentRoot <home>/www
    Servername blabla
    errorlog blabla
    customlog blabla combined
    AddType application/my-x-httpd-php .php
    Action application/my-x-httpd-php /cgi-php/php
    ScriptAlias /cgi-php <home>/cgi-bin

    I took a quick look on the debian/rule file of the apache source
    package, and saw that userdir was "public-html". docroot was /var/www,
    but as I intended to use the userdir, I did not bother.

    So, I replaced cgi-bin by public_html, but the suexec log keeps telling
    me that php is outside the docroot. But when I use the userdir, I don't
    rely upon the docroot, Or do I ?

    I Also tried to specify a directory inside the docroot (say,
    /var/www/foo_cgi-bin), but the I have no error with suexec, but php
    return a parse error on the binary (!).

    I'd really appreciate if someone with a little experience with suexec on
    debian could tell me what I messed up.

    Best regards,

    PS: Sorry for debian-user-french readers who might have seen this mail
    in french before... ;)
