Question
Why do we use root as user for apache2?
Hi there,
I have a question, If we follow the instructions to implement a web server with apache on Ubuntu 18.04, why do we use the root user (or sudo user granted privileges) in the installation process? From what I’ve seen they use www-data user, because of security. Is that OK?
Thanks
