I have Suse 9.3 pro whos's doc root is /srv/www/htdocs

I want to run virtualmin, who wants the doc root to be /home What do I do to change this, whats the easiest way of going about this? The main problem is php a lot of my sites as well as clients and future clients will run with php, and it doesnt work back in the /home directories.

Just an idea from:
http://www.swelltech.com/support/vir...ex.html#apache

Did you try recompiling with --with-suexec-docroot=/home ?

Im not sure how to recompile it? I read that, thats where I got the above post from, could someone explain or give me the commands to recompile it? or point me in the right direction.

I've got a directory on my HD named /usr/src/packages/SOURCES that has a bunch of apache files in it, so I dont know if that helps or not.

Warning, this is a general procedure NOT the exact methods, but it should help you out.

1. Install the SRC.RPM.
# rpm -ivh filename.src.rpm

2. Locate the .SPEC file it installed. Probably somewhere in /usr/src/packages/SPECS (I don't know exactly, I have not done this in SuSE, just look through /usr/src/packages/). It will have the same basic name as the SRC.RPM file.

3. Edit the .SPEC file where it says
--with-suexec-docroot=/home \
Change to:
--with-suexec-docroot=/srv/www/htdocs \

4. Recompile the .SPEC file with 'rpmbuild'
# rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/filename.SPEC

5. IF it builds it should be located somewhere in /usr/src/packages/RPMS (I don't know exactly, I have not done this in SuSE, just look through /usr/src/packages/).

5.a. If it does not build then you need to determine what is wrong and install any additional packages or software and go back to Step 4.

The steps should be very similar to the above, but probably not exactly. Most of my experience is from Redhat/Fedora. Suse and Fedora are very similar in their RPM building methods, but it is recommended to make backup of anything you modify and verify the commands you run BEFORE you run them.
