followed by a list of the enviroment vars.
Of courde my etc/passwd is ok.
I've disabled suexec.

And...now I enable suExec my scritps (in cgi-bin) doesn't run!!!

Help please

If you've enabled your suexec, make sure the "cgi-bin" folder or what ever folder the script(s) reside in, that the folder is chmoded 0755 otherwise you'll get errors. Make sure the script is executable, usually chmoded 0755. Also in the httpd.conf that the User and Group has been added to the account VirtualHost directive.

IMHO the scgiwrapper used it really useless!
