So how does Virtual Host User on apache2 work?
I saw that in apache2, you can assign a user to a virtual host.
How do you do that? Has anyone tried it?

Hi,
no you should use something like this:
--enable-sueexec --suexec-caller=nobody --suexec-docroot=/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ --suexec-logfile=/usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log --suexec-uidmin=500 --suexec-gidmin=500
For --suexec-caller you should use the username in your httpd.conf file. In the main configuration (not inside the <VirtualHost>) you will need the lines:
User nobody
Group nobody
For --suexec-docroot you have to specify in which directory suexec should be allowed to work. In the case above cgi files will not be executed with suexec in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/. So choose a path that includes all directories where you would like to use cgi.

if you compile your apache with option
--include-module=all
would suExec be compiled?

Hi,
If I understand your question correctly you might be talking about suexec, which would have to be compiled into the apache server if it isn't.
Then in httpd.conf you have something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
...
User northpole
Group northpole
...
</VirtualHost>
The result is that everything under this virtual host will be executed under the specified user id.
