[users@httpd] Securing Apache

[Jey <je...@rogers.com>]

How can I do the following in Windows 2000 server running Apache?

Running Apache as a non root/admin.
Ensuring that only Apache user has Read access to the Web content.
Protect files and directories from modification by users other than root/admin.
Protect against access to server files by blocking default access.

Thanks.

1) well not sure about that with win2k
2) you may want to make the web folder world readable, and only sysadmin/apache
writable instead of only apache user readable.
3) to stop any but admin from altering files, make them writable only by admin
4) that is the default with apache.
