Synopsis: User directive does not set userid (Windows NT) State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] State-Changed-When: Fri Oct 23 13:06:44 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: The User directive has no affect on Win32. The reason for this is because the password for the userid would have to be stored somewhere that Apache could read. This poses a possible security problem. If you want to run Apache in the context of a particular user account, Windows NT already provides this facility via the Services panel. This means that you need to install Apache as a service. After Apache is installed as a service, go to the services panel (click the Services icon in Control Panel) and click the "Startup..." button. In that dialog, you can enter the user account under which you want the server to run. Code has been added to Apache to indicate that the User directive has no affect on Win32 in the error log.
