apache2-mpm-itk module installation

[RobertoM]

In order that the php scripts, invoked via the web pages, could create a file with user and group corresponding to the owner of the specific virtual host, we need to install the apache module called apache2-mpm-itk. We are interested in knowing the best way to install apache2-mpm-itk in a linux system with Plesk because nowadays this panel is the base of our hosting platform whereas our past experience of apache2-mpm-itk use concerns its installation in a classical apache server without plesk.
Could you give us any suggestion about the procedure to follow? Could it cause any problem of stability of the web server?

This module was not tested in Plesk. But I can say that additional Apache modules will not affect Plesk operation, because Plesk interface is handled by lighttpd and user's sites - by Apache. So, you can try to install this module and test it.

@RobertoM I'm thinking about using the same setup. Would be nice if you share your results.

Thanks in advance,
Josef

We've been working on some http ITK rpms in the plesk irc channel (irc.freenode.net). We could use more eyeballs on the project

Anything still happening here?

My main issue with plesk on linux is access rights. Even with the fastcgi option, it still sucks (for example, if user uploads through, for example joomla, an image with nice access rights (ie only it's own user, perhaps read for his group but nothing for world) still causes issues, as an image is fed directly through apache which has no read rights on it...).

People have been complaining about this for *MANY* years. Isn't it about time to pick this up? As far as I'm concerned you can ditch *all* the new features in plesk 10 to add this one. None of them are as important as this one IMHO.
