Then the parent spawns workers (daemons/threads) that run as the user defined by the "User" directive. It is these that handle the user requests..
So maybe that already answers your question. Otherwise, see the User and Group directives in the docs and note also that only root can bind to ports < 1024 so to run on port 80, you must start as root. Otherwise, Listen to a higher port, eg 8080. Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. This message is for the named person's use only.
