Apache should be run as
www-data, which is a user that only apache runs under.It depends a lot on your setup, but you can have different apps run as different users listening on
localhostports and then proxy to them from your “main” apache, and you can run yourfcgiworkers as a different user but it really depends on which applications you’re running and how you’re running them.Hm, so this tip to Run Apache as separate User and Group is an old procedure because today the apache is already coming running as separate User and Group, right?
