I'd like to know if CPanel will work just fine if I turn on the SuExec mode and install Chillisoft ASP (which will modify httpd.conf file- I believe)

Thx.

There are many CLients who install / run chiliasp with no issues with cpanel.

We used SuEXEC on our VDI server for a few months and didn't have any problems until the new Akopia Interchange shopping cart was installed... We had to disable SuEXEC in order to use it. However, Nick has a new SuEXEC wrapper installed by default and any script under the scgi-bin will run under the wrapper.

I don't know about Chillisoft on a VDI server but if Bill says it will work then I am sure it will work. Personally, I don't think it is worth the money.

ChiliASP shouldn't have any problem with cpanel.

SuExec will not only protect cgi-script files.
But the most important thing for me is protect all users' files (sometimes we need to put a secret word in php file or a secret txt.file).

While on the other hand all processes will not run as nobody.

bdraco, I'd like to know if Cpanel will work just fine if I give the user's home dir attribute drwxr-x--- with the owner that user and owner group is nobody

Should be no problem what so ever there. Right now by default they are 711 :-)

Cpanel should work fine with suexec, however there is a minor problem with the shopping cart that comes with it (which can be fixed by running a script). We don't install suexec by default because I personally don't like its security model. If someone ones wants it they can always contact support@cpanel.net to have it installed.
