What is suEXEC?
Apache suEXEC is a security module for the Apache web server that allows users to execute PHP and Perl scripts as the script's owner instead of a default web server user. This increases security because the script can be given file permissions that only allow reading and writing by its owner. When your script is accessed via web browser, it is "wrapped" by suEXEC, executed and displayed.
Step-by-step instructions on how to configure your web account and scripts to run using suEXEC.
