SuExec compiling

Hello,

I have a homeserver, which has apache 2.0.54 as webserver. I've installed fastcgi and compiled php5 to run as FastCGI.

I've tried to get fastcgi use suexec wrapper mechanism. It does work, but only on my primary web-address (www.example.com).
My vhosts are set so that /www/example.com is docroot for the primary address, and /www/vhost1.example.com is for vhost1 /www/vhost2.example.com for vhost2 etc.

Because I want FastCGI to use suexec, I used this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4606
and complied php and suexec (I didn't edit suexec.c, because I want suexec to check file owner).

But there's a problem on suexec compile, when I do "./suexec -V" after "make suexec" it says:

Quote:

-D AP_DOC_ROOT="/var/www"
-D AP_GID_MIN=100
-D AP_HTTPD_USER="www-data"
-D AP_LOG_EXEC="/var/log/apache2/suexec.log"
-D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
-D AP_UID_MIN=100
-D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"

even if I modified suexec.h like:

#define AP_DOC_ROOT DEFAULT_EXP_HTDOCSDIR
replaced with
#define AP_DOC_ROOT "/www"

before "make suexec". I even tried to edit ap_config_layout.h so that #define DEFAULT_EXP_HTDOCSDIR "/www"
#define DEFAULT_EXP_HTDOCSDIR "/www"
but it didn't help. After make it still says "-D AP_DOC_ROOT="/var/www""

The reason why my primary domain works is (or I think it is...) that I have symlinked /var/www to /www/example.com like this:

Quote:

server:/var# ls -l www
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-09-09 22:26 www -> /www/example.com

Does anyone know why settings from suexec.h won't apply?

ps. sorry about my bad english, I tried to make it understandable :)

suExec doesn't accept symlinks for security reasons.
Usually you'd specify the suExec docroot when you compile Apache (in the Apache configure statement).

Well I in fact solved the problem by making /var/www symlink to /www and now SuExec works fine... (not the finest way, I know.)

I didn't want to compile apache, as I have installed it by the-easy-way, apt-get :)

Now there is only one problem, php scripts work only on my userdir (public_html), and on other users it says "No input file specified.". So now set so apache's mod php will handle .php files (works fine on everywhere), but if I use .htaccess file like this to get php use FastCGI-SuExeced-php (what a word..):

Quote:

RemoveHandler .php
AddType application/fastcgi-php php
Action application/fastcgi-php "/php5.fcgi"

This works on public_html, I don't know the right path for vhosts (as "/www/vhost1.example.com/php5.fcgi" and "/php5.fcgi" didn't work) so this doesn't work on vhosts...

What's the output of

Code:

updatedb

locate php5.fcgi

Code:

server:/www# updatedb

server:/www# locate php5.fcgi

/home/me/public_html/php5.fcgi (works fine...)

/home/user/public_html/php5.fcgi (if handler php5.fcgi is in use, "No input file specified." message appears)

/www/www.example.com/php5.fcgi (uses Apache 2.0 Handler, changing handler to php5.fcgi in .htaccess doesn't effect)

/www/vhost1.example.com/php5.fcgi (uses Apache 2.0 Handler, changing handler to php5.fcgi in .htaccess doesn't effect)

server:/www#

.htaccess in all directories listed above is

Code:

RemoveHandler .php

AddType application/fastcgi-php php

Action application/fastcgi-php "/php5.fcgi"

and all directories listed above include the php5.fcgi file..

Code:

#!/bin/sh

PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=4

export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN

PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=5000

export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS

exec /usr/bin/php

Are /www/www.example.com and /www/vhost1.example.com the document root of your web sites?

Yes, they are. /www/www.example.com is for http://example.com, http://www.example.com and for http://server.example.com.. and /www/vhost1.example.com is for http://vhost1.example.com :)

(sorry it took so long to reply this time... :( )
