Using php to configure apache

[Anon]

Hi

I am trying to use php to configure apache. Basically trying to set up virtual domains using forms. I am facing a few problems here. Apache does not run as root. My httpd conf files are owned by root. Also, how can i restart httpd from a php script itself. I would have to restart the daemon which runs php itself. Can php run as root?

Regards,
Sam

It's bad way to configure apache with php.

If you do it.

1. you need compiler php with cgi mode.

2. compiler apache with suexec.

Good Lucky.
