thats already set by default when i installed apache(which is

installed).

I am having a hard time finding the requirements for apache to run as
another user, would you or anyone know. i have checked the apache docs
to no avail, and still searching the net.

You are probably misinterpreting something, since apache will not run
as root without compile-time changes.

There is supposed to be one (control) process running as root that
launches child processes running under the specified User/Group that
actually handle requests.
