I have gotten the impression this may be a sore subject for the list based on searching through the archives, but I do not intend to work anyone up. I have been trying to find a solution to the problem of shared hosting with a dynamic language such as PHP. I found the old perchild MPM and it appears it is not being maintained or there was possibly a design problem. I would like to know two things.
1. Is there a mechanism (other than suexec) that allows functionality similar to perchild, that will allow a uid to be assigned on a per request basis? 2. If there is, do the developers need help with it? I can write C and I am willing to help out with this. If there is not, Would anyone from the Apache team be interested in working with me so I may write such functionality, maybe for a future version of Apache? I would appreciate all constructive criticism. If there is a good technical reason this cannot be done, please explain it to me. I am also willing to work on a patch for the kernel to hook calls that Apache makes to system calls such as open and execve if necessary. Thank you for your time, devkit1
