Failed to save enabled features : The Suexec command on your system is configured to only run scripts under /var/www, but the Vi

I GOT THE FOLLOWING ERROR

The Suexec command on your system is configured to only run scripts under /var/www, but the Virtualmin base directory is /home. CGI and PHP scripts run as domain owners will not be executed.

PLEASE BE CLEAR ON HOW CAN I FIX IT? tHANK YOU

Howdy,

Can you describe your server setup? For example, what distribution/version are you using? And how did you do your Virtualmin installation, was it with the install.sh script?

Typically on a Grade A supported OS (as seen here: http://www.virtualmin.com/os-support.html), you wouldn't run into that issue you're seeing.

For Grade A supported distributions, Virtualmin provides a version of Apache with a custom suexec that works in /home, rather than the default of /var/www.

However, if you have a distribution Virtualmin doesn't recognize... or perhaps have a third party repository installed that provides it's own version of Apache, it could cause problems with the normal installation.

If you just wish to use mod_php, you could always disable suexec, so that it doesn't give you a hard time about how suexec is setup.

However, CGI/FCGID is more secure, and is what we're recommend in most setups... but that requires an suexec version setup to use /home.
