[webmin-l] Apache module mod_suexec is not installed or not enabled.

[Munzir Taha (منذر طه)]

Hi,
virtualmin upon configuration complains:
Suexec is enabled in the default template, but the Apache module mod_suexec is
not installed or not enabled.

This is a fresh installation of ubuntu dapper server. I did a2enmod suexec and
restarted apache to no use, what is it looking for exactly, please?

You need to do the following :

1) Go to the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory
2) Run ln -s ../mods-available/suexec.* .
3) Go to Webmin's Apache module, click on Re-Configure Known Modules, and click Save
4) Go back to Virtualmin and re-check the config

This is what "a2enmod <module>" is supposed to do on Debian and its
derivatives (like Ubuntu).

Yes Jamie, as Kris pointed out they are equivalent. To confirm here is an ls
output:
# ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/suexec.load
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2006-12-15 14:40
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/suexec.load ->
/etc/apache2/mods-available/suexec.load

Also,
# cat /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/suexec.load
LoadModule suexec_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so

And
# ls -l /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4688 2006-07-26 14:01
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so

What else please should I check? I wonder why ubuntu behaves with me
different than anyone in the world! ;)

After trying this and failed I did disable the suexec support from the
virtualmin default template and it passed that point just to tell me:

The Apache module mod_actions is either not installed or not enabled.

I agian enable it manually and restarted apache to no avail. I'm not sure
where this is driving me to but surely it isn't a paradise!
