suexec policy violation: see suexec log for more details
and output of suexec error log is:

Hi and welcome to LQ

You have to use the capital "V":

Code:

suexec -V

You need to recompile apache using "--with-suexec-docroot=/my/path", because it's hardcoded into the suexec bianry.
You can use google to search how it's done for your distro

Thanks for your help.

But i don't want to compile apache.
So i cant give the path at the compile time.
Do you any alternative to change doc_root manually.

No you can't.
While you can change the apache docroot from httpd.conf, it's not possible to do the same with suexec as it's hardcoded into it.
But you can use the homedir as an alternative if you want

Thanks.

Do you know apache configuration to support perl script(with suexec user group).
I tried but always gives the error that cmd is not in doc root.

You can use the ~/public_html/cgi-bin directory if you want.
Or you should create a new cgi-bin (or whatever you want to call it) directory under the apache docroot, configure apache to execute scripts from that directory, use 755 attributes (or else suexec will complain) and test.

Yes I am trying using ~/public_html/cgi-bin to install movable type script
But when I access the mt.cgi page it shows entire code of mt.cgi instead of it is acctuall output.
I have given the permission 0755 to that folder.
In that I run php file it work fine.

You need to tell apache to execute scripts from that directory

Code:

<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride Options
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
