Finding out what user Apache is running as?
I use openSuse and I try to find out the name of the apache user. So I enter
vim /etc/passwd
in the terminal. Or
ps -a
Both don't have apache listed. I have mysql and other stuff but apache isn't mentioned. Any ideas?
ps aux | grep httpd
Output:
Try
ps aux | grep httpd
or
ps aux | grep apache
The first column of the output is the user that is running the process.
Sample output from a CentOS system
apache 4173 0.0 0.6 239100 6720 ? S Aug04 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
and an Ubuntu system
www-data 3124 0.0 0.2 6452 2180 ? S Aug04 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
On CentOS apache is running as user apache and on Ubuntu it's running as www-data
You sure have creative ways for finding stuff. :-)
I have not installed Apache in openSUSE, but my blind guess is that the user is not actually named apache but httpd instead. Or then you don't have Apache installed. Please, when asking, try to be more verbose and descriptive.
