Subject: suEXEC won't work with mod_ruby ?

Hi,

I want to run scripts in /home/me/public_html/cgi-scripts as me but I 
can't seem to figure out why suEXEC won't work with mod_ruby:
The following shell-script works fine while the ruby script underneath it gets
a "touch: creating `tag_you_re_it.txt': Permission denied" in
/var/log/apache/error.log

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
echo ""
touch tag_i_shelled_you.txt

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require "cgi"
`touch tag_you_re_it.txt`

When I change the directory's permission so that everyone can write in
it, the file tag_you_re_it.txt is created with apache as owner.

Why isn't my ruby script executed as me ?


Puzzled,
Simon




All parts concerning ruby in my /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

LoadModule ruby_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_ruby.so
# If the ruby module is installed, this will be enabled.
<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
  # for Apache::RubyRun
  RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

  # exec files under /ruby as ruby scripts.
  <Location /ruby>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
    Options ExecCGI 
  </Location>

  # exec *.rbx as ruby scripts.
  <Files *.rbx>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance

  # for debug
  RubyRequire auto-reload
</IfModule>
