Apache and CloudLinux LVE settings and configuration

The server is configured with:

• mod_hostinglimits - LVE limits for apache
mod_hostinglimits works with existing cgi/php modules, to put them into LVE context. It can switch user/group of apache process (making PHP run under user context) via LVE.

Please take a look into it configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/modhostinglimits.conf and find more about module configuration options at http://www.cloudlinux.com/docs/mod_hostinglimits_lve.php

• mod_sucgid - high performance CGI daemon
mod_sucgid is a cross between suExec and mod_cgid. It runs CGI scripts more efficiently via daemon process, but it runs them under correct user id/group id, in similar way to suExec

Please take a look into it configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/modsucgid.conf and find more about module configuration options at http://www.cloudlinux.com/docs/mod_sucgid.php

• mod_fcgid - FastCGI for LVE
mod_fcgid is CloudLinux packages modified version of mod_fcgid, that supports LVE

Please take a look into it configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_fcgid.conf and find more about module configuration options at http://www.cloudlinux.com/docs/fastcgilve.php
You will get the following warning in case the module is installed but not enabled (by default):

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [Thu Feb 18 08:38:51 2010] [notice] sucgid: LVE is disabled
[Thu Feb 18 08:38:51 2010] [notice] mod_fcgid: LVE is disabled
[ OK ]

To avoid it, just turn on the module. Set EnableLVE On in the config file.
