Whichever user account you are using at the time you extract the Tomcat binaries will be the owner of the Tomcat directory tree.
You have to install Apache as root since it binds to port 80. You define the unprivileged user in httpd.conf.
As far as not using su, just login as the web server user and start the scripts, you only need to use su if you're logged in as root.

Is it possible to do it during install. For instance install Apache and Tomcat as user XXX?
What I want is to start the applications as the user XXX without using the -su command.

Yes, it is possible and recommended.
1. chown -R webuser:webuser $CATALINA_HOME 2. su - webuser -c $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

Hi.
I want to install Apache and Jakarta-Tomcat as non-root user (they will use the same user account). Is this possible and what is the best way do this?
