    This has the same effect as "service httpd start" -- good. Thus if your
    system is default it should do the same as mine.

    The first process runs as root. All the others (the worker bees that
    actually provide the services) should run as apache.

    If this is NOT what is happening then you have a non-standard config and
    /etc/httpd/cond/httpd.conf has likely been modified to run the server as
    root.

    The others in this thread have told you, and I agree that the server
    should not run as root. "ps -aux | grep httpd" will show the user name
    in the first column and you can easily see what user the process is
    running as.
