Yes, httpd.conf does have the correct parameters: # User apache Group apache Since I am a "Sunday user" of Linux in that once I set it up, it may be months before I need to do anything other than backup and run yum update. As a result, my Linux skills are not like someone using Linux daily (wish I did not have to earn my living in the Windows world). So, I wanted to make sure that changing the Owner and Group to "apache" for /var/www/ was correct.
