<p>The <code class="directive">SuexecUserGroup</code> directive allows you
to specify a user and group for CGI programs to run as. Non-CGI
requests are still processed with the user specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#user">User</a></code> directive.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">SuexecUserGroup nobody nogroup</pre>
</div>
<p>Startup will fail if this directive is specified but the suEXEC
feature is disabled.</p>
