uid and gid under which apache2 should run (need urgent he..

Hi,

In apache 1.3 before compiling you could set these options:
--server-uid=UID set the user ID the web server should run as
[nobody]
--server-gid=GID set the group ID the web server UID is a memeber of
[#-1]

How is this done in apache2?

Thanks a lot

with apache one can in general do most configuration in a config file,
usually called httpd.conf. compile time settings are usually just
defaults if there's no other info on a topic in the httpd.conf.

in your case you want to read the docs on the User and Group
directives. these are available in both apache 1.3 and 2.
