I saw the note. Nice choice of words they chose ;) CGI/suexec is not sufficient for me since I still cannot run as root. I know there are other options that would probably be easier, but I think the mpm would work better, plus it would be awesome for virtual hosting as well if I could get it working. My need is to be able to run mod_php as root. (and before I get torched, I am well aware of the security risks.) Which I can not do with suexec. It would probably be easier to break suexec than make perchild work, but I don't like that plan.

According to the docs, it looks like it became too broke to fix. http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/perchild.html This module is not functional. Development of this module is not complete and is not currently active. Do not use perchild unless you are a programmer willing to help fix it. And maybe the programmers feel that a CGI/suexec combo is a good enough replacement for the perchild MPM. I dunno. -- Eugene Lee eugene at anime dot net
