Using /home as suexec docroot is a big no-no from a security point of view. It will create local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in many situations. If you don't want to use /var/www you should probably use directories under /srv.
In any case, the above howto is outdated. Nowadays there is the apache2 -suexec-custom package which allows to set the suexec docroot without recompiling. But you should read the security advice in the suexec man page that is contained in that package. ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- suexec should be configured to use /home as its docroot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
