Group
#-1
The Group directive sets the group under which the server will answer requests. In order to use this directive, the stand-alone server must be run initially as root. Unix-group is one of:
nobody
, but
this is not always possible or desirable.
Note: if you start the server as a non-root user, it will fail to change to the specified group, and will instead continue to run as the group of the original user.
Special note: Use of this directive in <VirtualHost> requires a properly configured suEXEC wrapper. When used inside a <VirtualHost> in this manner, only the group that CGIs are run as is affected. Non-CGI requests are still processed as the group specified in the main Group directive.
SECURITY: See User for a discussion of the security considerations.
