A month later, I am returning to this issue.

One suggestion:

The above did not work.

There are two separate, different How-To files in apache.org
that together or independently did not work.
The error is the same,
     "Error in suphp.c on line 244: Script is not in document root"

I was wondering if anyone has done this?

Short of succeeding in the above, I seem to have 2 options:
1. manually configure a dozen domains (ok, easy enough with emacs)
2. install apache 1.3 and use the known working config....

Thanks
