[gentoo-user] mod_suphp

[Michael Sullivan <michael@espersunited.com>]

Has anyone out there had any success with www-apache/mod_suphp?  If so,
I could use some help.  I've never been able to make it execute .php
files that aren't in /var/www/localhost/htdocs, and I can't even figure
out why it allows those, unless it's because /var/www/localhost/htdocs
is my DEFAULT_VHOST.  I looked in
the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf file and can see no
suphp stuff, nor even any references to any.  My /etc/suphp.conf is
pretty simple:

camille ~ # cat /etc/suphp.conf
[global]
;Path to logfile
logfile=/var/log/apache2/suphp_log

;Loglevel
loglevel=info

;User Apache is running as
webserver_user=apache

;Path all scripts have to be in
docroot=/

; Security options
allow_file_group_writeable=false
allow_file_others_writeable=false
allow_directory_group_writeable=false
allow_directory_others_writeable=false

;Check wheter script is within DOCUMENT_ROOT
check_vhost_docroot=true

;Send minor error messages to browser
errors_to_browser=true

;PATH environment variable
env_path=/bin:/usr/bin

;Umask to set, specify in octal notation
umask=0077

; Minimum UID
min_uid=81

; Minimum GID
min_gid=81

What am I doing wrong here?   I really need this, or if not this, a good
workaround.  I work for the Director of Music at our local college.
Since February I've been working on a web interface for next years Music
Festivals.  I wrote it in PHP because it's the scripting language that I
know best.  The web interface is finished except for one detail; it
needs to be able to email log reports of actions done by directors
registered with the script.  The problem is that I want the user
'festival@espersunited.com' to mail out the log reports, but I can't
have that with the current setup because the script will execute under
user 'apache' and I don't really want apache in the mail group.  Can
anyone help me out here?
