Just like it does with a non suexec installation.

But this always happens with other files that the one I'm actually testing on so to me it's useless. /var/log/httpd-access.log /var/log/httpd-error.log Are both in use. They work as usually but they don't mention suexec:) > >Now what do I do?

I didn't deinstall the original apache. I made "make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=YES". Looking at the date of my executables /usr/local/bin/apachectl and /usr/local/bin/httpd I can see that they are dated today at compile time. I've tried to execute dem directly with the full path to make sure. This does not seeme to be the problem. > > Perhaps I shouldn't have even spoken up.
