Enabling or disabling SuExec

SuExec is an Apache feature that gives users the ability to run CGI and SSI programs using user IDs that are

different from the user ID of the calling web server. This effectively means that CGI and SSI programs will not

have access to the root account or have root permissions. Refer to the SuExec support page for more information

about the advantages and risks of SuExec.

To enable or disable SuExec:

1. Click on the Enable/Disable SuExec link in the Server Setup menu.

2. Click on the

button to enable SuExec or click on the

button to disable SuExec.

1. Click on the Add/Remove Users from the Wheel Group (allow su) link in the Server Setup menu.
