Topic: Running Apache as a new user

[HopkinsProg]

Hello!

I am in the process of creating a separate user account to run my Apache service and I need some help.

I have the account setup to be service-only (eg no log-ins or other privileges). However, I am having some trouble starting the server, with the Event Viewer saying that it cannot access a file (and it names httpd.conf everytime, but I've already checked the permissions there, so I know its something that it refers to).

I have the following privileges setup:

• The main apache binary folder is set for (R)ead, (W)rite, and (E)xecute.
  
• All of the log file locations are RW
  
• All of the virtual host home directories are set for R
  
• I have given the server read permissions on the Windows directory and files (to load the various DLL files)
  
• I also have the Zend Optimizer running, and Apache has read access to those DLL's
  
• All of the PHP files are set to RWE
  

Yet, I still get errors. Can you all see anything that I have missed?
Thanks!
