AW: [users@httpd] Is it possible to install apache server with non-root user [wd-vc]

2015-10-29 Thread Bremser, Kurt (AMOS Austria GmbH)
Since httpd requires root privilege to bind to port 80, it needs to be run by 
the superuser, so from a security POV it should NOT be installed by another 
userid.
You also need root privilege on many UNIXen to run the child processes under a 
different userid, if such is specified in the User directive of the 
configuration file.
