Hi,

I'm currently setting up a simple web server. So far, everything (PHP, 
MySQL) works very well, but I admit I never gave security that much 
thought. Time to change that habit.

First things first. The RHEL Deployment Guide lists Apache's 
configuration directives alphabetically. Instead of going through them 
from A to Z, I'll try to start with what seems more important, and then 
advance step by step.

User apache
Group apache

As far as I understand, I have to chown all my web content accordingly, 
so that everything below /var/www/html belongs to apache:apache. Right?

cheers,

Niki
