It depends.
If it is a CGI application (using Perl or Python), and doesn't use mod_perl
or FastCGI, it's relatively easy. suEXEC is your friend. It's an apache
"module" that will run CGI's as the user who is the owner. See the Apache
docs for more info on using.
If it is a PHP script, then that's a bit harder. PHP is usually embedded in
the server, so runs scripts as the server. You can compile PHP to have it's
own runtime, and then put something like #!/usr/bin/php at the top of all
your PHP files and run them as external CGI's.
Hope that helps.
