ChrootDir Directive

+ + + + + + + + +
Description:Directory for apache to run chroot(8) after startup.
Syntax:ChrootDir /path/to/directory
Default:none
Context:server config
Status:Base
Module:mod_unixd
Compatibility:Available in Apache 2.2.10 and later
+

This directive tells the server to chroot(8) to the + specified directory after startup, but before accepting requests + over the 'net.

+

Note that running the server under chroot is not simple, + and requires additional setup, particularly if you are running + scripts such as CGI or PHP. Please make sure you are properly + familiar with the operation of chroot before attempting to use + this feature.

Group Directive

+ + + + + + + +
Description:Group under which the server will answer +requests
Syntax:Group unix-group
Default:Group #-1
Context:server config
Status:Base
Module:mod_unixd
+

The Group directive sets the group under + which the server will answer requests. In order to use this + directive, the server must be run initially as root. If + you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change to the + specified group, and will instead continue to run as the group of the + original user. Unix-group is one of:

+ +
+
A group name
+
Refers to the given group by name.
+ +
# followed by a group number.
+
Refers to a group by its number.
+
+ +

Example

Group www-group
+
+ +

It is recommended that you set up a new group specifically for + running the server. Some admins use user nobody, + but this is not always possible or desirable.

+ +

Security

+

Don't set Group (or User) to root unless + you know exactly what you are doing, and what the dangers are.

Suexec Directive

+ + + + + + + +
Description:Enable or disable the suEXEC feature
Syntax:Suexec On|Off
Default:On if suexec binary exists with proper owner and mode, +Off otherwise
Context:server config
Status:Base
Module:mod_unixd
+

When On, startup will fail if the suexec binary doesn't exist + or has an invalid owner or file mode.

+

When Off, suEXEC will be disabled even if the suexec binary exists + and has a valid owner and file mode.

+

User Directive

+ + + + + + + +
Description:The userid under which the server will answer +requests
Syntax:User unix-userid
Default:User #-1
Context:server config
Status:Base
Module:mod_unixd
+

The User directive sets the user ID as + which the server will answer requests. In order to use this + directive, the server must be run initially as root. + If you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change + to the lesser privileged user, and will instead continue to run as + that original user. If you do start the server as root, + then it is normal for the parent process to remain running as root. + Unix-userid is one of:

+ +
+
A username
+
Refers to the given user by name.
+ +
# followed by a user number.
+
Refers to a user by its number.
+
+ +

The user should have no privileges that result in it being + able to access files that are not intended to be visible to the + outside world, and similarly, the user should not be able to + execute code that is not meant for HTTP requests. It is + recommended that you set up a new user and group specifically for + running the server. Some admins use user nobody, but + this is not always desirable, since the nobody user + can have other uses on the system.

+ +

Security

+

Don't set User (or Group) to root unless + you know exactly what you are doing, and what the dangers are.
