Letting Apache own "apache"-files?

murr4y · 06-07-2005, 04:11 PM

Hey!
I've downloaded and compiled Apache manually.
The built-in Apache version in FC3 has its own user and group, so Apache can read all files that belongs to "Apache", and have f.ex. 700 permission number.
I can't use the built-in version because I need suPHP (suphp.org); then I need apxs, and the built-in version doesn't include apxs.
If it's possible to install suPHP with the built-in version anyhow, it'd be great if someone could explain me how

If not, how do I create a user for the compiled apache installation? I've created the user, but I don't know how to "bind" it to apache. Is it at all possible?
Thanks,
HeiaTufte
PS. This is my first post here, so hello everyone

Welcome to LQ.

You just need to set the User (and probably Group) directives in httpd.conf

D'oh. So easy

probably considererd so easy that it doesn't need documentation, that's why I couldn't find anything

Thanks for your help
