Hey Jeffry, Yes as I demonstrated a few messages back this file belongs to the apache web server account. [root@web1:/etc/httpd] #egrep -i "user|group" conf/httpd.conf | grep -i -v -e logformat -e '#' User apache Group apache [root@web1:/etc/httpd] #ls -l /var/www/php-webdev/orders/orders.txt -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 115 Dec 28 14:46 /var/www/php-webdev/orders/orders.txt And I have seen apache run as 'nobody' or 'www-data' (if you're on debian/ubuntu). I've even seen apache run as some variation of the company name that I'm working for. But I've also seen apache in production environments. From what I can gather running apache as 'apache' is a CentOS / RedHat default.
