New install, getting hung up on suexec & apache 1.3.x

Hello all!

After a lot of work, I do have FastCGI to where it will serve up a
phpinfo() file correctly.  The only thing I noticed was, it was still
attempting to serve it up as the httpd:httpd user.

Reading along, I found a section on the website talking about php, and
suexec, and how to make it work.

I turned on the FastCgiWrapper directive, with the full path to suexec,
and now I am getting a lot of suexec errors.  So I must be gaining.

What I am running into is, Apache is trying to run the FastCgiServer
command I have in the main section of httpd.conf as the httpd:httpd user,
not the virtual user, as setup under the virtual host.  I tried moving the
FastCgiServer command to the virtual host and also the .htaccess file, but
apache bomb's, saying the command cannot be in the virtual host section.

I must be doing something wrong?  Once I get this nailed, I should be
working a whole lot better --

This leaves me with a couple of quickies, non specific things, I'll ask if
you guys want to comment on :

-> Where do you put your php-fcgi command? Do you put a copy in each users
folder, or do you try to alias it, so you dont have 200 copies floating
around?

-> Do you forsee memory being an issue if my php exec file is around 8mb
in size?  I have 2 gb of memory on the particular server I am testing on.

-> Any tips to using Fast CGI with php under Apache 1.3.x, and suexec? 
How about perl?

-> Can FastCGI, php, suexec be ran as an external server, instead of just
a plain FastCgiServer?  Any drawbacks? Any suggestions how to do it?

-> Any known compatibility issues, or should FastCGI be capable of
handling any php page a guy throws at it?

I think thats all that Ive had come up so far, and Im quite looking
forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Doc
