This module as a file redirection layer that also sets the User + Group for suEXEC. The module configuration file is read in every time it is modified. So you just edit the config file and the module will reload the configuration file automatically. No server restart/reload! The configuration loads in just milliseconds and is unnoticeable. In mod_samoylyk you can use only the following directives:
