This how-to looks like it should still be valid:

How To Set Up Apache2 With mod_fcgid And PHP5 On OpenSUSE 11.2 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

Personally, I typically use suPHP - but I believe the above should help point you in the right direction.

Cheers,

Hi there,

I typically have used suPHP on RH / CentOS systems (that’s just what has been used most where I have worked), though honestly it should be very similar on Suse. I wrote a guide, which encompasses suPHP which can be found at: Apache Security - Lyceum

You should be able to adapt that to OpenSuse without too much trouble.

Cheers,
