I had installed Apache 1.3b5 using FreeBSD's pkg_add and so didn't have easy access to the source code for suexec. I decided to upgrade to 1.3.1 and downloaded the source code. The server compiled fine (using apaci and the appropriate --enable-suexec commands) and installed without error messages. However, when I try to start the new httpd (using apachectl or doing it manually) it just doens't start. No error message, nothing in the log file, no configuration file error. Apachectl just says "httpd could not be started." So I decided to just try using the new suexec code with the old server (though any help on that startup problem would be much appreciated). I recompiled the suexec binary using the new server paths and all that, and installed it in /sbin/suexec with the proper chmod 4711, etc. However, when Apache (this is 1.3b5 now, remember) it warns me that my "User" and "Group" directives in my virtual host entries require an SUEXEC wrapper, as if suexec didn't exist.
Problem 1: httpd (1.3.1) won't start, and I have no apparent means of error tracking Problem 2: httpd (1.3b5) won't recognize suexec >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
