<usage>
|
|
<p>The <directive>Group</directive> directive sets the group under
|
|
which the server will answer requests. In order to use this
|
|
directive, the server must be run initially as <code>root</code>. If
|
|
you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change to the
|
|
specified group, and will instead continue to run as the group of the
|
|
original user. <var>Unix-group</var> is one of:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>A group name</dt>
|
|
<dd>Refers to the given group by name.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>#</code> followed by a group number.</dt>

|

|
<p>It is recommended that you set up a new group specifically for

running the server. Some admins use user <code>nobody</code>,

but this is not always possible or desirable.</p>

|
<usage>
|
|
<p>The <directive>User</directive> directive sets the user ID as
|
|
which the server will answer requests. In order to use this
|
|
directive, the server must be run initially as <code>root</code>.
|
|
If you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change
|
|
to the lesser privileged user, and will instead continue to run as
|
|
that original user. If you do start the server as <code>root</code>,
|
|
then it is normal for the parent process to remain running as root.
|
|
<var>Unix-userid</var> is one of:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>A username</dt>
|
|
<dd>Refers to the given user by name.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt># followed by a user number.</dt>
|
|
<dd>Refers to a user by its number.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>The user should have no privileges that result in it being
|
|
able to access files that are not intended to be visible to the
|
|
outside world, and similarly, the user should not be able to
|
|
execute code that is not meant for HTTP requests. It is
|
|
recommended that you set up a new user and group specifically for
|
|
running the server. Some admins use user <code>nobody</code>, but
|
|
this is not always desirable, since the <code>nobody</code> user
|
|
can have other uses on the system.</p>

|
|
<p>This directive tells the server to <var>chroot(8)</var> to the
|
|
specified directory after startup, but before accepting requests
|
|
over the 'net.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that running the server under chroot is not simple,
|
|
and requires additional setup, particularly if you are running
|
|
scripts such as CGI or PHP. Please make sure you are properly
|
|
familiar with the operation of chroot before attempting to use
|
|
this feature.</p>
