Not in Apache 1.3.x User/Group inside Virtual is just ignored, I think. Apache 2.0 was rumored to have had that on its desired feature list. Whether it made it into reality, I dunno. (Anybody wants to clue me in direct email 'twould be welcome.) fhttpd (a "competitor" to Apache) has that capability if you need it bad enough to switch to a not-so-well-known but pretty cool software package. Another option is to run suExec-wrapped PHP as CGI using a different mime-type for a critical few pages that need User/Group settings. Those particular pages take the CGI performance hit, but may be not horrible for your overall server needs. It would not even be terribly difficult to script the changes to httpd.conf and set this up for a moderately sized Virtual hosting environment, I should think... The added value of being able to run PHP as a specific user for certain pages could be quite a "deal" for some power-users. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out?
