thats already set by default when i installed apache(which is www-data). I think i am having an issue either with file/directory permissions and/or on how Apache is starting up; it just stays running as root instead switching over to www-data (the user/group set when 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.
