Using suExec

[DualFusion]

I have been looking into suexec for a while and have not found a good tutorial for this at all. I have looked at the Apache docs, but they are limited. What would be some steps for using suexec in /home when its already installed on the server and recompiled with the new doc root?

Would I have to create a user and group, create dir in /home for the user and then a public_html dir within that one? Then go to suexec and add the user and group to it and assign it in the vhost or something?

Thanks

Yes, this are the nescessary steps.

Can you show me how this would work under ubuntu and how suexec knows under which user to execute from?

You must add a line like this to your vhost configuration:

SuexecUserGroup user group
