Gerrit,

I think Stipe is right here.  The latest changes I asked him for
should allow to start apache as SYSTEM and to change the user
context according to the "User" and "Group" settings in the
/etc/apache/httpd.conf file as on U*X systems.

Try starting apache as SYSTEM and set the user in the conf file.
