How do I setup an suExec directory for a member?

Only MFPL admins have permission to take this step. If you would like suExec enabled for your site, please follow our suExec FAQ.

Run the following script, replacing $USER with the username provided by the member.

# Ensure suexec is enabled (reload apache if necessary)
user=$USER
a2enmod suexec

base=/var/www/members-cgi-bin

if [ ! -d "$base" ]; then mkdir "$base"; fi

sitepath=$(getent passwd | grep ^bigbangparty | cut -d: -f6 | cut -d/ -f1,2,3,4,5,6)
site=$(echo "$sitepath" | cut -d/ -f6)

if [ ! -d "$base/$site" ]; then 
  mkdir "$base/$site"; fi
  chown "$user" "$base/$site"
fi

if [ ! -h "$sitepath/cgi-bin/suexec" ]; then
  ln -s "$base/$site" "$sitepath/cgi-bin/suexec"
fi
