$ grep "User " /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
User Apache

$ grep "Group " /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;

Interesting, I started it from the shell with 'apachectl -k start'
and it doesn't switch the user.

This looks fine to me.

I saw similar problems with the first versions of Apache2 I compiled
myself, so I never was able to use it.


- Of course you have checked the FAQ:
   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ-F.html#premature-script-headers
- The script is running from the shell?
- cygserver is running and was not restarted after apache2 was
   fired up?


Sorry if this doesn't help much,
Gerrit
