3 Users and Groups

It is recommended that the SkunkWeb server run as the same user that the Apache server runs as. Historically, we have created a user named apache, with a home group named http, for both Apache and SkunkWeb to run under. The Skunk software installation will create many directories and files owned by the user/group you choose during the installation; we recommend that you create the user apache and group http before starting the Skunk installation, so that the Skunk installer can use apache:http to set ownership of the files it installs.
