192
193 <para>
194 <parameter>--enable-mods-shared="all cgi"</parameter>: The modules should be
195 compiled and used as Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs) so they can be included
196 and excluded from the server using the run-time configuration directives.
197 </para>
198
199 <para>
200 <parameter>--enable-mpms-shared=all</parameter>: This switch ensures that
201 all MPM (Multi Processing Modules) are built as Dynamic Shared Objects
202 (DSOs), so the user can choose which one to use at runtime.
203 </para>
204
205 <para>
206 <parameter>--enable-suexec</parameter>: This switch enables building of the
207 <application>Apache</application> suEXEC module which can be used to allow
208 users to run CGI and SSI scripts under user IDs different from the user ID
209 of the calling web server.

213 <parameter>--with-suexec-*</parameter>: These switches control suEXEC module
214 behavior, such as default document root, minimal UID that can be used to
215 run the script under the suEXEC. Please note that with minimal UID 100, you
216 can't run CGI or SSI scripts under suEXEC as the

224 permissions of the binary, making it setgid
225 <systemitem class="username">apache</systemitem>.

231 default icons, etc.) with the ownership of the user that extracted the
232 files from the tar file. If you want to change the ownership to another
233 user, you should do so at this point. The only requirement is that the
234 document directories need to be accessible by the <command>httpd</command>
235 process with (r-x) permissions and files need to be readable (r--) by the
236 <systemitem class="username">apache</systemitem> user.
