If you need to build Apache from source in order to add or change
the suexec parameters, you can use the following
commands as a quick-start.
You should download the latest released version of the Apache
tarball and unpack it into a working directory. The top-level
directory will then be ./apache-1.3, which matches
assumption #1 described earlier.
% cd ./apache-1.3
% env CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" \
> ./configure --enable-shared=max --enable-module=most \
> --with-layout=Apache --prefix=/usr/local/web/apache \
> --with-port=80 \
> --enable-suexec \
> --suexec-caller=nobody \
> --suexec-docroot=/usr/local/web \
> --suexec-umask=022
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.12-dev
+ using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
+ Warning: You have enabled the suEXEC feature. Be aware that you need
+ root privileges to complete the final installation step.

% make install

% /usr/local/web/apache/bin/apachectl start
If you didn't encounter any errors, you should now have a
working Apache installation in the location that matches
assumption #2 described earlier.
It's been built to include suexec, and you
should verify that this is the case:
% /usr/local/web/apache/bin/httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/local/web/apache/bin/suexec
It's far beyond the scope of this
article to give any more information about building Apache.
If you'd like to see an article in this column about the details
of building Apache, let me know.
