\n<\/p>\n

Backup the current suexec. Then download stuff and go into the newly created directory:<\/p>\n

\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
\n\t\t
  1. cd \/usr\/src<\/div><\/li>\n
  2. apt-get build-dep apache2.2-common<\/div><\/li>\n
  3. apt-get source apache2.2-common<\/div><\/li>\n
  4. cd apache2-2.2.3\/<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

    Edit the build rules and change the suexec settings:<\/p>\n

    \n\n\t\t
    \n\n\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t< View plain text<\/span> ><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

    \n\t\t
    1. vi debian\/rules<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

      Near the top are located the defaults, AP2_COMMON_CONFARGS. Find the references to suexec and modify. For instance:<\/p>\n

      \n\n\t\t
      \n\n\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t< View plain text<\/span> ><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
      code<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t
      \n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
      \n\t\t
      1. --with-suexec-docroot=\/home\/hosting \\<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

        Increment the build number and build notes with comments telling when and why, with dch (needs devscripts) :<\/p>\n

        \n\n\t\t
        \n\n\t\t
        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t< View plain text<\/span> ><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
        code<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t
        \n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
        \n\t\t
        1. dch -i<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

          Then build the package :<\/p>\n

          \n\n\t\t
          \n\n\t\t
          \n\t\t\t\t\t\t< View plain text<\/span> ><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
          code<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t
          \n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
          \n\t\t
          1. dpkg-buildpackage<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

            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.<\/p>\n

            Check new suexec compile options :<\/p>\n

            \n\n\t\t
