Hi Brian,I am not a debian user but I wouldn't think that it matters who owns the script unless the apache process has to write back to the files/directories.
For example if you are running a CMS then it would matter or an application that uploaded pictures etc.

Hello everyone, I'm interested in whether or not people running Apache2 on Debian 3.1 create a separate user for the web directory (/var/www/xxx). The default install has root owning everything, but starting the web server as www-data. Thank you, Brian. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
