Migrating to Apache2 ... suexec? [Resolved]

I migrated my server to Gentoo with Apache 1.3 and found this great suexec thing was enabled, allowing me to run my CGI scripts as the proper user. Well, I like it, and can't move away from it now.

I need some things which require Apache2 now, so am trying to migrate over, but it appears suexec doesn't allow me to set user and group directives for a virtual host any more? Or is the default configuration for Apache2 different?

I really am not that great with apache... its configuration seems overly complicated to me andjust not intuitive... are there any Apache gurus out there who might know where I need to look?

I searched through the Apache documentation explaining suexec and found the use of User and Group inside a virtual host was no longer the way to do it... SuexecUserGroup is the way to handle things in Apache2.

I also needed to manually add the module to my config file... otherwise, it seems to be working properly now. Yay.

Can you show me this line and tell me which config file?

Thanks,

[EDIT] N/m, i figured it out. I added this to apache2.conf

###Modules I've added
