Up until now I've built my toy apache's from source, but since there is some merit to using pre-built bundles, I decided to experience that particular joy. Now I need to delete suexec - is it just a matter of a config change, or do I need to rebuild from source? I hope the doco is clear. I'm newish to apache, despite doing UNIX for more years than I care to mention. Do you think this needs to be a bug/misfeature report to the Apache teams then? I don't have enough in-depth knowledge to consider whether DirectoryIndex needs to use suexec by necessity or convenience, and whether there's any logical reason why it can't work, or whether it just needs more code throwing at it. Perhaps the codesters need to be informed?
