mod_hostinglimits -- LVE limits for apache

Description:Wraps around PHP/CGI scripts, making them to run within LVE context
Status:External
Module Identifier:hostinglimits_module
Source Files:mod_hostinglimits.c
Compatibility:Unix pre-fork MPM

Summary 

mod_hostinglimits works with existing cgi/php modules, to put them into LVE context. In most cases the cgi/php process will be placed into LVE with ID of user that sites belongs to. mod_hostinglimits detects the user from SuexecUserGroup directive.

This can be overwritten via LVEId parameter on the Directory level

  1. LVE doesn't work for mod_include #exec due to its "filter" nature.
Example: 
LoadModule hostinglimits_module modules/mod_hostinglimits.so
<IfModule mod_hostinglimits.c>
   AllowedHandlers cgi-script php5-script php4-script

</IfModule>

SuexecUserGroup 

User and group for processes spawned by daemon. This parameter is used by mod_hostinglimits to figure out user id under which sites run, and use it as LVE ID for that site. In most cases nothing has to be done beyond setting this directive. Most modern control panels will set this parameter by default.

Syntax:SkipErrors On
Default:SkipErrors Off
