Hi Demetri,
Change the User parameter in httpd.conf. Here's what I have in mine:
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
# . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
# suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
# NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
# when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
# don't use Group #-1 on these systems!

User apache
Group apache
Hope that helps.
cheers,

I have googled for information in configuring apache to run as www-data

general.
I tried changing permissions for the directories, the www-data user and
group were added by the installation of xubuntu
I have search high and low and cant find a HOW-TO anywhere. Please help
Thank you,

Thanks for the reply Dim
thats already set by default when i installed apache(which is
www-data). I think i am having an issue either with file/directory
permissions and/or on how Apache is starting up; it just stays running
as root instead switching over to www-data (the user/group set when
installed).
I am having a hard time finding the requirements for apache to run as
another user, would you or anyone know. i have checked the apache docs
to no avail, and still searching the net.
Thanks
Demetri
