Suexec config check fails

Help! (Home for newbies)

I’ve searched around the forums but nothing that I believe is help to me…

I receive this:

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.

… your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

This is running under etch, I read somewhere that using the right repos may help?

As in:

http://www.virtualmin.com/forums/limit/10/limitstart/0/virtualmin/suexec-configured-to-run-under-varwww-....html

This is virtualmin pro installed via the copy paste command from the serials page of our account. I have nothing that needs backing up so can I just rerun that copy pasted command with the proper sources?

My current sources are:

deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ etch main deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ etch main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main
deb http://xxxxxxx:xxxxxxx@software.virtualmin.com/debian/ virtualmin-etch main

That last one I took out the codes because I assume that is privy info

Well I fixed the problem by not installing apache with the OS install so that virtualmin would install it’s own version.

Worked like a charm, but would still like to know what I could have done if installing the OS was not an option.
