Iiridayn's questions

When I enable suEXEC by following the tutorial here, I am able to get PHP to run over Apache in cgi mode, but when I start trying to use suEXEC I get a 403, and the following error appears in the error log "client denied by server configuration". The suEXEC log is empty. How can I get this working? My ultimate goal is to run fastcgi with suexec, and this error has stopped me at every turn.

The relevant portion of httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /php5-cgi /usr/bin/php-cgi
Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
<Directory /usr/bin>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName skylords.com
    ServerAlias  www.skylords.com en.skylords.com lt.skylords.com nl.skylords.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/http/htdocs

    SuexecUserGroup skylords skylords

    AddHandler php5-cgi .php
    ScriptAlias /php5-cgi /var/http/htdocs/cgi-bin/php-cgi
    ErrorDocument 404 /srv/http/htdocs
    ErrorLog /srv/http/logs/apache_error.log
    <Directory "/srv/http/htdocs">
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Options Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I had a Fedora box running using my static IP 69.169.136.6, etc, all configured according to what the ISP required. Just recently the hard drive failed (and I should have been keeping better backups) - while it is being recovered I would like to put up a webpage on my Archlinux PC explaining the problem - I presently do not have sufficient access to change the DNS record assigned to the domain.

When I change my ip address while my system is running to 69.169.136.6, ifconfig reports the new ip address, but http://whatismyip.com/ does not. When I change it and reboot, I can't ping - the message I recieve is "connect: Network is unreachable" (when given one of google.com 's IP addresses - hostnames give me ping: unknown host xxx). Until I have access to the DNS system, what can I do to make this work?

Edit: With new IP address, same problem, IP is now 69.169.136.29. Some commands might be useful:
