Description Holger Benl 2002-05-12 15:14:44 UTC

I can't use CGIs in my public_html/ folder. After much investigation, I found that apache is compiled with --suexec-uidmin=1000. Since the UID of my account is 500 (for historical reasons), suexec rejects any requests to run a CGI in one of my folders. Now, that is obviously a problem with my personal setup rather than gentoo. However, I noticed that apache also gets --suexec-gidmin=1000. On my system, the "users" group has GID 100, and IIRC I never fiddled with this, so my guess is that it's the same on other gentoo systems and therefore other users shouldn't be able to run CGIs in their public_html/ folder either...

set the mingid to 100.
