When I enable suEXEC by following the tutorial here, I am able to get PHP to run over Apache in cgi mode, but when I start trying to use suEXEC I get a 403, and the following error appears in the error log "client denied by server configuration". The suEXEC log is empty. How can I get this working? My ultimate goal is to run fastcgi with suexec, and this error has stopped me at every turn.

The relevant portion of httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /php5-cgi /usr/bin/php-cgi
Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
<Directory /usr/bin>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName skylords.com
    ServerAlias  www.skylords.com en.skylords.com lt.skylords.com nl.skylords.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/http/htdocs

    SuexecUserGroup skylords skylords

    AddHandler php5-cgi .php
    ScriptAlias /php5-cgi /var/http/htdocs/cgi-bin/php-cgi
    ErrorDocument 404 /srv/http/htdocs
    ErrorLog /srv/http/logs/apache_error.log
    <Directory "/srv/http/htdocs">
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Options Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Security issues of running PHP scripts as the owner of the PHP file with suexec

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I'm using suexec to ensure that PHP scripts (and other CGI/FastCGI apps) are run as the account holder associated with the relevant virtual host. This allows for securing each users' scripts from reading/writing by other users. However, it occurs to me that this opens up a different security hole… >>> More
