Two reasons I could think of where the same user running Apache would have to be the owner of the files being accessed is if you are runing a CGI script using suExec or if your Apache process needs write access to files and directories. As for the trailing slash, apparently some versions of Apache (1.3) ship with a broken mod_dir that causes strange (and sometimes correct) behavior when a trailing slash is appended to DocumentRoot. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#documentroot -- Best Regards, Nimrod A.
