Hi I have my apache running as www-data - except for 1 parent process that starts off as root - This is accepted as ports < 1024 need to have root to be accessed. I have my apache binaries owned by root though.

Apache is run as apache:apache

But to start apache I have to be root!? How can I resolve this? By changing ownership of the apache binaries - /usr/local/apache?

My apache runs like this:
root 31522 1 0 Oct19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
root 27112 1 0 Oct22 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 30906 27112 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 30907 27112 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 30908 27112 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 30909 27112 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 30910 27112 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 30911 31522 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
www-data 30912 31522 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
www-data 30913 31522 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
www-data 30914 31522 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
www-data 30915 31522 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache-ssl
www-data 31455 27112 0 07:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 32696 27112 0 11:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data 32698 27112 0 11:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache

But I can only start this as root not as any other user - even www-data.

Any ideas?

Thanks

apacheconf

apacheconf(1)						       Apache configuration						     apacheconf(1)

NAME

       apacheconf - Apache configuration utility

SYNTAX

       apacheconf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  new  graphical  tool  to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration
       options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts.

OPTIONS

       None

FILES

       /usr/bin/apacheconf
       /usr/share/apacheconf/*
       /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl

SEE ALSO

       httpd(8)

BUGS

       Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet.

       The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual  changes
       to  the	httpd.conf  file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file
       will be generated.
