Sam Lavitt did speak thusly:

Based on my research, suexec only works for SSI and CGI, so it would be pointless for providing security with php, and doing mass-hosting, php is something in pretty common use. And I am sorry, I mis-spoke, the mpm was mpm_perchild for apache 2.0, which apparently is abandoned and broken. (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/perchild.html ) I lack the programing skills that would be needed to repair it unfortunately.

So is there anything that is functional, maintained, and would allow me to provide the security that would be needed, ideally apache 2.2, if not, at least 2.0? Or any other webserver which can provide the security needed?
---------------- End original message. ---------------------

PHP provides for this directly.

There is a restrict_base_dir setting that can be applied to each virtual host that prevents users from accessing anything outside of the specified directory tree.

Go to http://www.php.net/ and check the docs for more info.
