Source: mpm-itk Priority: optional Maintainer: Steinar H. Gunderson Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), dh-apache2, apache2-dev, libcap-dev [linux-any] Standards-Version: 4.7.0 Section: web Homepage: http://mpm-itk.sesse.net/ Rules-Requires-Root: no Package: libapache2-mpm-itk Section: libs Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: multiuser module for Apache The mpm-itk module, although not technically a Multi-Processing Module (MPM) (although it used to be) enhances the classical "prefork" module (that is, without threads), in such a way that it allows you to constrain each individual vhost to a particular system user and group. This allows you to run several different web sites on a single server without worrying that they will be able to read each others' files. mpm-itk is largely independent of e.g. what scripting technology is in use on your server; in particular, it does not require you to run your scripts as CGI to get the extra security benefit.
