http server configuration

When I went to the error log this is what I found. Apparently there is a
problem setting the group id. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I
am running Apache 2.0.39 on a Unix machine.  I saw in the httpd.conf file
that group was set to "# -1"  Should this be changed and to what?  Need help!

Any real group from your /etc/groups file -- preferably one without too 
many privileges.
