Why would you want to run Asterisk as root? I wouldn't. But if my efforts to run asterisk as non root would hit a snag permission wise, this might be something I would consider. > 2. Why set the group to apache (if you're root anyway why do you care)? It is not asterisk's permission to do things I am worried about. I want Apache to be able to issue asterisk cli-commands, like a reload after something crucial has changed in the web config. I am trying to ascertain if setting asterisk to run as group apache will be sufficient (actually regardless if asterisk runs as root or not), or if I still need to change permissions of files. In an other installation (this one made from RPMs, so non-root has been taken care of already) we have set apache to run as the same user as asterisk. > 3.
