Should I disable suEXEC ?

I am running the latest VestaCP v0.98-19. Often I get 500 errors when I trying to save something on my website frontend. So I went to check the log file today.

When I viewing the Apache2 log file , I saw following lines:

root@mail:/var/log/apache2# tail error.log

There is one line saying "suEXEC mechanism enabled". Since this line is in the error log file, maybe this means that is an error to allow suEXEC mechanism enabled?

Should I disable suEXEC? How to ?

Thank you.

I don't think it is needed to disable.
