Changing Apache2 SuExec document root

[tad1214]

Hi,

I am not very familiar with passing options to make with the FreeBSD ports setup. When I compile Apache from source I just add

--with-suexec-docroot=/home

To my make statement, how do I do this with ports?

Thanks!

%cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && grep -i 'suexec.*docroot' *
Makefile.doc:##            SUEXEC_DOCROOT:     SuExec root directory

So, read through Makefile.doc there. The option you want appears to be available.

Hmm maybe I'm doing it wrong?

[2009-07-09 21:16:03]: cannot get docroot information (/usr/local/www/data)

after a

# make SUEXEC_DOCROOT="/usr/home"
# make deinstall
# make install

Seems to be no luck still.

Perhaps try:
# make WITH_SUEXEC_DOCROOT='/foo'

Also be sure to enable the mod_suexec option. If that doesn't work, I'll try to actually build it.

Hmm still nothing

cd support && make suexec
`suexec' is up to date.

This makes me think it doesnt see it or its the same as last time with the regular SUEXEC_DOCROOT="/foo"

[2009-07-09 23:57:23]: cannot get docroot information (/usr/local/www/data)

From everything I searched, I am barking up the right tree with this error too.

One more slightly modified stab from me:
# make WITH_SUEXEC=yes SUEXEC_DOCROOT='/foo'

(I had intended to tinker with this until I figured out the precise invocation the port was looking for, but that's not going to be possible on my test box at the moment - apologies.)

Try to put

SUEXEC_DOCROOT=/home

in your /etc/make.conf and recompile Apache. At least, this has always worked for me.

 

[tad1214]

I put

WITH_SUEXEC=yes
SUEXEC_DOCROOT="/home"

and rebuild the port and it worked successfully.

Thanks!!!!!!
