Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by slive: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Recipes/Different_UserIDs_Using_Reverse_Proxy The comment on the change is: Clarify back-end administrators ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ == Running unprivileged back-end hosts == - If you use unprivileged ports for the back-end hosts (for example, replacing 81 and 82 above with 8001 and 8002) then you may choose to start these hosts directly under the less-privileged userids (host1user and hos2user) in place of root. This will allow you to give complete control of these back-end servers to a different administrator. This other administrator could then edit httpd.conf and manage log files and server restarts without needing root privileges. You may also choose to run the back-end hosts in a chroot environment, in a FreeBSD jail, or under other restricted permissions (using SELinux, for example). + If you use unprivileged ports for the back-end hosts (for example, replacing 81 and 82 above with 8001 and 8002) then you may choose to start these hosts directly under the less-privileged userids (host1user and host2user) in place of root.
