[users@httpd] Apache httpd with custom module does not start when I am not running is root

[Abhi Auradkar]

All, 


  I have apache httpd 2.2.21. I load a custom module into it. 
When this is done I always need to be a root or sudo to start apache process. 

If I run apache as any other user the command 'httpd -k start' never returns to 
prompt. 
If I comment the LoadModule for my module apache starts fine even if I am not 
root. 

Any pointers why is this so. Am doing something wrong while building my module? 
I use apxs to compile the module. 

Appreciate your help!!


Thanks,
~Abhi
