The following is for my own reference, borrowed from there and duplicated here because the original blog looks inactive and a fine candidate for deletion next time their domain or hosting will expire. No questions on this please, this is not my area of expertise at all.

Backup the current suexec. Then download stuff and go into the newly created directory:

  1. cd /usr/src
  2. apt-get build-dep apache2.2-common
  3. apt-get source apache2.2-common
  4. cd apache2-2.2.3/

Edit the build rules and change the suexec settings:

  1. vi debian/rules

Near the top are located the defaults, AP2_COMMON_CONFARGS. Find the references to suexec and modify. For instance:

  1. --with-suexec-docroot=/home/hosting \

Increment the build number and build notes with comments telling when and why, with dch (needs devscripts) :

  1. dch -i

Then build the package :

  1. dpkg-buildpackage

Now, in /usr/src/ we have all the .deb files we need to install. We dpkg -i the one we want (suexec is part of apache2.2-common and needs apache2.2-utils). All done.

Check new suexec compile options :

  1. /usr/lib/apache2/suexec2 -V

    For anyone following this, after installing my newly created package, I had to correct the suexec binary permissions with:

    chmod 4750 /usr/lib/apache2/suexec

    Thanks!
