Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-13 08:28:09 UTC 
net-www/apache-2.2.4-r1 configures suexec as:

# apache2 -V |grep -i suexec
 -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/sbin/suexec2"


however the wrapper script is installed with a different name:

# ls -l /usr/sbin/suexec*
-rws--x--- 1 root apache 11012 May 13 03:17 /usr/sbin/suexec
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    8454 May 13 03:17 /usr/sbin/suexec2-config

so when you start apache with -D SUEXEC:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Stopping apache2 ...                                                                                 [ ok ]
 * Starting apache2 ...
Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper.                                             [ ok ]

and suexec does not function.

A workaround for this is trivial until an automatic solution is provided:

ln -sf /usr/sbin/suexec /usr/sbin/suexec2

Just committed a ebuild fix for this, thanks for the report.
