Re: Help: running apache virtualhosts as regular users and groups

So 10 years of working with UNIX is not enough experience?   Thanks for 

belittling me like that.  I know how to patch software, just not RPMS.  I 

could easily compile apache myself and patch it.   I just prefer to use RPMS 

because I can update my server automatically with YUM.

Now, is there anyone out there that can assist me without talking about to 

me or assuming that I do not have enough UNIX experience?

Thank You

Jaysen

However.  These are patches and I am not familiar with how to patch an 

RPM

install of apache.   Sorry I am a newbie when it comes to this.  Isn't 

there

a module that I can install that would take care of this for me?

Hmmm... When I wrote that document, I explicitly tried to discourage
people from using those mpms -- especially inexperienced users like
you. Did you really get the impression that that is a recommended
solution.

Anyway, do NOT use those mpms. If you are not familiar with patching
then you don't have enough unix experience to understand the
implications of running those mpms. Try one of the other solutions in
that document instead.

If you only have a few sites, by far the simplest and most performant
solution would be simply to devote an IP address to each site and
start an independent instance of httpd for each IP address.
