suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their
owners. It consists of an Apache module (mod_suphp) and a setuid root
binary (suphp) that is called by the Apache module to change the uid of
the process executing the PHP interpreter.
This version was compiled to look for its config-file in /etc/httpd
rather then just /etc as 'httpd' looks there aswell.
Some of the 'standard' /etc/httpd/httpd.conf directives include:
LoadModule suphp_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_suphp.so
suPHP_Engine on
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
suPHP_UserGroup someuser users
To use different php versions 'per vhost' see:

mod_php can be reduced (greatly) by rebuilding PHP for FastCGI and
using mod_fcgid; however, that requires additional configuration.
See http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/configuration.htm for details.
