Hello - I am new to linux configuration:

I am trying to install CF8 on linux but am somewhat confused about permissions.

I am running apache under user "apache", group "apache".

My web root is /home/frank/www
All files within that are 644, all directories are 755.
All www files are owned by "frank", group "apache"

As I understand it, this is a good secure setup, which allows apache to read 
files but not write to these directories.  So far so good, I think.

Now, I am installing coldfusion.  When the CF installer asks for the runtime 
user, what do I use?  apache?  frank?  some other user?    I have access to 
root, so changing permissions is easy.  I just want to have a good, secure 
setup, and I need apache running under "apache" to play nicely with CF.

Thanks for responses
