Bug#2802: apache tweaks



Package: apache
Version: 1.0.3-1

I have a number of suggestions about the apache package.

 1) The server should run under userid "www": that allows separate
    accounting of CPU used by the web server. Currently, it runs as
    "nobody". Files served by apache that aren't owned by any
    particular user (eg machine index page) should by owner
    root.wwwadmin.  The www user and wwwadmin group should go into the
    base package, I think. (How do the other web servers which have
    been Debianized do this?).

 2) Putting the server root under /var/web is silly. Web data doesn't
    grow/shrink/vary during the server's lifetime.  It is more akin to
    user data, and as such should (probably) go under /home. I'm open
    to suggestions.

Comments?

Thanks,
Austin
