suexec and Apache 2.0.52 ?

[Timothy Ha]

Thank you, Alexander!

I should have looked at suphp for my PHP scripts problem. suphp.org has 
an Apache module for PHP scripts to run with their owner's uid/gid.

And for Apache to read users' home dirs, I will need to add user 
"apache" into each user's group.

suexec is for CGI, then.

Timothy.
