Subject: Re: Apache Question About User Permissions
If you have shell access to the server you can find which UID apache is
running as by executing the following commands:
ps -ef | grep apache
Or the daemon may be called httpd:
ps -ef | grep httpd
The first column from the left is the UID of the process (the owner of
the PID).
I guess you'll see multiple apache processes.
The first one is most likely running as root.
But as soon as apache starts it forks and the child processes are
running as www-data (default for debian) or http, httpd, apache etc.
It's the owner of the child processes you are interested in.
