Hello,

We have apache 2.2.4 compiled on our webserver.
It's running under user daemon and group daemon which is the default. If we want to create a new user/group (ex: user: web group: web) and run apache under that new user/group "web", what do we need to do? Do we just change the httpd.conf's
User daemon Group daemon to User web Gropu web and restart apache?
Is there anything else we need to do?

Thanks.
 
That's it. Of course, that user will need to be able to read the filesystem appropriately.
