[Jörg Schaller]

Hello all, 

I've received the following communication from my provider and I'd
like to know if Typo3 will still correctly work with the below
changes. Thanks for your answer!

ADDITIONAL SECURITY FUNCTIONALITIES

*** PHP SUEXEC SUPPORT ***

PHP SuExec Support will be enabled. This may require you to make minor
easy changes if you experience a "500 internal server error". 

If you face a "500 internal server error" after the maintenance is
completed, please read the below for easy to fix steps:

1. check that the php script that you are attempting to execute has
permissions of no more than 755 - 644 will work just fine normally,
this is not something that will need to be changed in most cases.

2. check that the directory permissions that the script resides within
is set to a maximum of 755. this also includes directories that the
script would need to have access to also.

3. check that you do not have a .htaccess file with php_values within
it. they will cause a 500 internal server error, when attempting to
execute the script.

the php_values will need to be removed from your .htaccess file and a
php.ini put in its place, containing the php directives as explained
above.
