[users@httpd] user and group thru configure
Can anyone tell me how do i set the User and Group during install.
Wot r the options in configure, cuz I for sure,could find no option to
specify the User name and Group, which was existent in Apache 1.3
Now, if i dont specify anything other than the PREFIX, I see a "nobody"
against the user and #-1against the Group in httpd.conf.
Tried to look around, but couldnt find any help.
Any ideas anyone?

I just wanted to say, that not all MPMs support User/Group directives. And if
u configure and compile apache with MPM that supports those directives you
have to specify them in httpd.conf file anyway.

Hey thanks Eimantas,
Read abt the MPMs.
I am using Linux, Redhat -9.
SO i guess, even if i dint specify the mpm option dring configure, it
wud pick prefork as the MPM, which is wot i want.
So, do I have to specify the User/Group directive when I cconfigure for
make?? or is it when I start the server?
Theres no mention of using the User/Group directive with configure.
Do i have to configure like
./configure --prefix=<prefix> --with-mpm=prefork User=<username>

MPM - Multi-Processing Modules. These modules are responsible for binding to
IP/Port and supplying children processes for handling requests. The most
common MPM module (as far as i know) used on unix (Linux) machines with
apache2 is prefork since not all apache modules are thread-safe and this
module sort of 'emulates' apache 1.3 behavior. Each MPM module has its own
directives, i.e. [User] directive is avaliable for leader, perchild, prefork,
threadpool and worker MPM modules. You should check each module separately
and choose the one which fits your needs best.

MPM module??
cuz i did not know abt this,i configured with simple
./configure --prefix=<prefix>
Whoa. I just looked at the options with configure, n looked for MPM.
Its very unnerving for sure, atleast for me.
Do i have to know the modules used by Apache, and their uses, etc. to do
an install?
the option --with-mpm=MPM says
--with-mpm=MPM Choose the process model for Apache to use.
MPM={beos|worker|prefork|mpmt_os2|perchild|leader|threadpool}
wot are these??n how do i decide wot do i use??
pardon me.. if these qs seem too silly..
I am still reading into all this, but could u just direct me to the
right stuff.

User and group settings depend on MPM module you compile your apache with (if
you are using apache2)
