Operating Systems Linux How do I run HTTP server on port 80 using a non root user? Post 302447704 by Scott on Tuesday 24th of August 2010 04:37:15 AM

Hi.

(This is from RedHat, but hope it applied to you too).

Extract from httpd.conf

Code:
#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
#    suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
#  don't use Group #-1 on these systems!
#
User apache
Group apache
