what if i want a folder owned by user1 who is in group1 to have executable privs by group2, but only in this particular folder?

thanks

I'd make a third group, consisting of the union of the members of the other two groups.

HTH,

Wait- did you mean that the folder doesn't have to have group execute permissions for group 1?

Then just:

chgrp group2 directory_name
chmod g+x directory_name

I don't want the folder to have group exe permissions, i just want to folder have rwx privs for user1 and rx perimissions for the apache user

so i think just changing the folder group to apache should work
