185
186 <para>
187 <parameter>--enable-authnz-fcgi</parameter>: Build FastCGI
188 authorizer-based authentication and authorization (mod_authnz_fcgi.so
189 fast CGI module).
190 </para>
191
192 <para>
193 <parameter>--enable-mods-shared="all cgi"</parameter>: The modules should be
194 compiled and used as Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs) so they can be included
195 and excluded from the server using the run-time configuration directives.
196 </para>
197
198 <para>
199 <parameter>--enable-mpms-shared=all</parameter>: This switch ensures that
200 all MPM (Multi Processing Modules) are built as Dynamic Shared Objects
201 (DSOs), so the user can choose which one to use at runtime.
202 </para>
203
204 <para>
205 <parameter>--enable-suexec</parameter>: This switch enables building of the
206 <application>Apache</application> suEXEC module which can be used to allow
207 users to run CGI and SSI scripts under user IDs different from the user ID
208 of the calling web server.
209 </para>
210
211 <para>
212 <parameter>--with-suexec-*</parameter>: These switches control suEXEC module
213 behavior, such as default document root, minimal UID that can be used to
214 run the script under the suEXEC. Please note that with minimal UID 100, you
215 can't run CGI or SSI scripts under suEXEC as the
216 <systemitem class="username">apache</systemitem> user.

220 <command>... /usr/lib/httpd/suexec</command>: These commands put
221 <command>suexec</command> wrapper into proper location, since it
222 is not meant to be run directly. They also adjust proper
223 permissions of the binary, making it setgid
224 <systemitem class="username">apache</systemitem>.

226
227 <para>
228 <command>chown -R apache:apache /srv/www</command>: By default, the
229 installation process installs files (documentation, error messages,
230 default icons, etc.) with the ownership of the user that extracted the
231 files from the tar file. If you want to change the ownership to another
232 user, you should do so at this point. The only requirement is that the
233 document directories need to be accessible by the <command>httpd</command>
234 process with (r-x) permissions and files need to be readable (r--) by the
235 <systemitem class="username">apache</systemitem> user.
