Apache write permission issues to another user owned directory
Hi

I am trying to make a web program which is command line equivalent. i have done the coding in cgi program in perl and html for basic forms to take inputs. when i ran the program from web application i see permission denied messages. after analyzing i found apache is running as wwwrun which does not have access to /mydirectory

/mydirectory is owned by user "prd", i changed /etc/apache2/uid.conf as below and restarted apache and everything works perfect
Code:
#User wwwrun
User prod
#Group www
Group prd

My concern - Executing apache process as prd which is sudo user is smelling fishy and alternately i dont want to add wwwrun to prd group giving access to all wwwrun process

Any recommendations is highly appreciated - thank you

apache(1M)                                                System Administration Commands                                                apache(1M)

NAME

       apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview

DESCRIPTION

        apache  consists  of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta-
       tion.

FILES

       The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris.

       The following files specify the installation locations for apache:

       /etc/apache             Contains server configuration files.

                               A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example
                               to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments.

       /usr/apache/bin         Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs.

       /usr/apache/htdocs      Contains  the  Apache  manual  in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test
                               page that gets installed upon fresh installation.

       /usr/apache/include     Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8)

       /usr/apache/jserv       Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web  browser  using  the
                               url:

                               file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html

       /usr/apache/libexec     Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied
                               into this directory.

       /usr/apache/man         Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl.

                               Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES.

       /usr/apache/perl5       Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache.

       /var/apache/cgi-bin     Default location for the CGI scripts.

                               This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/htdocs      Default document root.

                               This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/icons       Icons used by the server.

                               This normally shouldn't need to be changed.

       /var/apache/logs        Contains server log files.

                               The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives
                               in the httpd.conf file.

       /var/apache/proxy       Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file.

                               The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file.
