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

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

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

232 <command>chown -R apache:apache /srv/www</command>: By default, the

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