[users@httpd] root process running Apache

I am running apache2 with Ubuntu so that I can practice writing CGI/SQL scripts with perl. In ports.conf I have: NameVirtualHost *:80 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 the intention being to limit access only to my laptop (keep the outside world out). I read several times don't run apache as root. ps
