Hi,

I installed apache unto a machine running under Fedroa Core 4.
I want to create a user as 'webroot' and designate it as the web administrator.

Therefore, I want to change the user and group in httpd.conf to webroot from apache. Is it necessary in situations like mine? What would be the consequences of this change, especially in terms of the accessibility of the files to the outside world and its associated security issues (selinux is very sensitive and picky).

Thank you,

pine
