All, We installed apache 2.0.59.Our requirement is to start/stop this server using a regular id other than root.We changed the installation directory permissions and also set the User and Group in httpd.conf to the required user and group permissions , but still we can't get it start/stop by regular user.It works fine with root id. Error we are seeing is "(13)Permission denied: mod_weblogic: could not create lock Configuration Failed"
If you run your server on the standard port (80; or, in fact, any port below 1024), then you must have root permissions to start it. This is a basic unix permissions constraint and has nothing to do with apache in particular. It also appears in your case that mod_weblogic has a separate need for root permissions someplace; I don't anything about that. If you need to start apache httpd from non-root and still use port 80, you can try using sudo. But be aware that the apache configuration is flexible enough that anyone allowed to monkey with it can probably obtain root on the system if apache is started as root.
