+suphp README.SLACKWARE 
+
+This version was compiled to look for its config file in /etc/httpd
+rather then just /etc as 'httpd' looks there aswell.
+
+To enable this make sure to disable mod_php first, then (after editing
+as needed for your site) add to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
+ 
+  Include /etc/httpd/mod_suphp.conf
+
+Unlike suEXEC, suPHP tries to fix variables like $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
+
+Apache php_* directives in .htaccess files will only work if you install
+the 'htscanner' PHP extension (available from SBo also).  However, not
+every setting will work that way; using a php.ini per vhost is another
+option available, configurable in /etc/http/mod_suphp.conf
+
+Upon each connection getpwnam() and similar user-db functions are run,
+which may hinder performance on systems with many accounts (or that use
+some kind of external db system) in which case running 'nscd' may help:

+To use different php versions 'per vhost' see:

+
+Note on capabilities: FCAPS=true
+
+Which, if set, will install the wrapper non-setuid. For this to work
+however filesystem support must be available (ext3 has this support).
+Your backup tool might ignore, or not know about, extended attribs...
+
+Besides the 'apache' user must be able to write to its logfile, e.g.
+drwxrwxr-x 2 root apache 4096 2009-04-05 00:29 /var/log/httpd
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 root apache 2212 2009-04-05 13:45 /var/log/httpd/suphp_log
+Which might have some consequence in logrotate configuration too.
+
+In case Apache is chrooted (for instance with mod_chroot available from
+SBo as well), breaking out should be much harder if installed this way, as
+ptrace, chroot, etc will be unavailable to get via suphp within the jail.
