Dear Members,
I am very new to Apache, so please don't mind if my questions are very Basic.
I have recently Installed a Bug Tracking tool called Bugzilla on a 64 Bit Windows 2008 R2 Server which needs a Webserver which is Apache.
Since Apache does not provide 64 Bit Installer for Windows, I downloaded the 64 Bit Binaries Zip file from the following link:
http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/binaries
I have a lot of questions on how we can configure Apache as everything should be done manually(As Installer does not exists for 64 Bit).
The documentation of the tool which I installed says the following about Apache:
| Code: | | By default Apache installs itself to run as the SYSTEM account. For security reasons it's better the reconfigure the service to run as an Apache user. Create a user that is a member of no groups, and reconfigure the Apache2 service to run as that account. |
My questions are:
1. How does one create a Apache User/Password.
2. How to Create a User which is a Member of No Group.
3. How to Configure Apache to Run as the New User created.
4. How to give read/Write Privileges to the newly created Apache User.
My Apache is working fine now without any problems but this only works internally not externally (Internally Means the Machine on which i installed Apache, Externally Means trying to access Apache from outside). For Security reasons I have to create a dedicated Apache User which I am not sure how we can do it on Windows. There is no option for me to Upload my httpd.conf file in this forum so could not do it.
It would be great if you can Provide your Suggestions.
Thanks
