Hi
I am runnin httpd on linux.
I want it to be owned by apache.
But ps aux displays that its user is nobody.

Please reply me.

Have a look in Apache's httpd.conf file for the User and Group directives. Assuming that you have already created the apache user and apache group, just change the entries from:

Code:

User nobody
Group nobody

to

Code:

User apache
Group apache
