Setting that to -rws--x--x makes it all work, but isn't there another way? === what follows is not more of my suexec problem... that was solved with the permission change (thank you). This is just for discussion ==== Currently I'm experimenting on my home linux machine but my program is destined for a linux server where I don't own root. Checking the permissions on that suexec I see: -rws--x--- and I'm able to run cgi anywhere in my user public_html. So that server must have something setup differently. I've examined its httpd.conf but see no significant difference from mine. Not sure what else to look at. It has an /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file in there as well, and I didn't see anything that stood out as suexec related in it either. I can examine conf files but not change them on that server. Also on gentoo suexec gets installed with -rws--x--- and suexec is enabled in apache install. But as you've seen it wasn't working that way. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
