Hi Brian,

I am not a debian user but I wouldn't think that it matters who owns the script unless the apache process has to write back to the files/directories.

For example if you are running a CMS then it would matter or an application that uploaded pictures etc.

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in whether or not people running Apache2 on Debian 3.1 create
a separate user for the web directory (/var/www/xxx).

The default install has root owning everything, but starting the web server
as www-data.

Thank you,
Brian.
