i installed Virtualmin, and I’m running into an issue, when I click on Re-check Configuration:
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.
Looking through the forums, it seems as if the solution is to install the Virtualmin Apache. How do I accomplish that? I looked through the various option on my Virtualmin installation, and I cannot find the option to update to the Virtualmin Apache installation.
If there is no option under the UI, is there a command line option?
It sounds like you ended up with a non-standard version of Apache on your system. Normally, the Virtualmin installer would handle that suexec issue for you.
What distribution/version are you using? And do you have any non-standard repositories enabled?
Lastly, did you use the install.sh script in order to install Virtualmin?
At one point, I installed ISPConfig, but system info (webmin) says that I have Apache version 2.2.3.
Operating system CentOS Linux 5.5
Webmin version 1.520 Virtualmin version 3.82.gpl GPL
Theme version 7.9 Time on server 27/Nov/2010 08:10
Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 on x86_64 CPU load averages 0.10 (1 min) 0.06 (5 mins) 0.01 (15 mins)
I initially tried install.sh, but the install failed, so I went back to webmin and I installed from webmin.
Here’s what I get when I do re-check configuration:
he status of your system is being checked to ensure that all enabled features are available, that the mail server is properly configured, and that quotas are active …
BIND DNS server is installed, and the system is configured to use it.
Mail server Postfix is installed and configured.
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.
I initially tried install.sh, but the install failed, so I went back to webmin and I installed from webmin.
Ahh… yeah, performing the installation manually is the hard way You can do that, but there’s a number of steps involved in making that work. You can see manual installation instructions here:
It’s simplest to get Virtualmin working on a fresh installation of your OS. On a fresh install, the install.sh should be able to get everything up and running for you.
However, if you want to get it working the manual way, you should be able to do that using the above directions.

When you download and install the various Apache packages, you need to install them all at once. In your case, it looks like you’re just installing the one package… and that particular one, httpd-manual, is just the Apache documentation.
The above error message is saying it’s missing the main “httpd” package.
Yes, I was trying to isolate the two files causing errors. One of the is the manual. Below what happens when I run the full install script: /bin/sh install.sh. So, back to my question: how do I install the virtualmin version of Apache, so I can have my docs directory point to /home, instead of /var/www. This is for Centos, where doing a manual change in the module config to /home, will not work.
