The only way I know how to do this is via the suexec option in Apache. This version \
of Apache (2.2.16) was not compiled with that option and attempts to do so have \
repeatedly failed (for some reason it doesn't like the OpenSSL install despite the \
fact that it is already using it (--with-ssl).
Running Apache as root is strongly discouraged, so what I'm asking is, do you have a \
way to do this that doesn't involve recompiling Apache to include suexec or running \
Apache under root?
If not, I guess I'll have to get this to compile with suexec.
I did notice some suexec related code within Webmin and was hoping that I could use \
Webmin to configure Apache, stop Webmin, and restart Apache with the new \
configuration. I haven't found a reference to mod_suexec_directives in the \
webmin/apache directory anywhere, so I can't figure out where to access it. I \
thought it might be because suexec wasn't compiled into Apache, but that would \
prevent it being referenced in some module.

Getting Webmin torununderApacheforSolaris10-- Creating dent in desk frombanging head.
If you run index.cgi from the command line as root, make sure you run it using
the file path, like /opt/webmin/index.cgi .
If it is run by Apache, it needs to be run as root - or else the scripts won't
have permissions do actually do anything.
