Actually, Apache generally runs (in order) as nobody, apache,
httpd, or daemon. Some distros (such as Ubuntu) or control panel
installations (such as Plesk) change this default. For example,
Ubuntu Feisty uses 'www-data', and Plesk uses a group of 'psacln'.
From PHP, if system access (i.e. - exec(), passthru(), etc.) is
allowed, the easiest way to find out which user you are with Apache on
*NIX is to run this file in a browser:
<?php
echo `whoami`;
?>
