Apache runs as which user, group under OS X 10.6?

Anyone know the default user/group for Apache under OS X (10.6)? I'd like to set permissions correctly. Already enabled Web Sharing, etc.

Apache user and group are _www and _www.

Turns out the answer is in /etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf:

User _www
Group _www

$ id _www
uid=70(_www) gid=70(_www) groups=70(_www),404(com.apple.sharepoint.group.3),402(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),61(localaccounts),12(everyone),403(com.apple.sharepoint.group.2)

Default to user _www and group _www.

Check

You can check by running this command:

$ sudo apachectl -D DUMP_RUN_CFG

ServerRoot: "/usr/local/opt/httpd"
Main DocumentRoot: "/usr/local/var/www"
Main ErrorLog: "/usr/local/var/log/httpd/error_log"
Mutex default: dir="/usr/local/var/run/httpd/" mechanism=default 
Mutex mpm-accept: using_defaults
PidFile: "/usr/local/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid"
Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG
User: name="_www" id=70
Group: name="_www" id=70

Check / Change

Also, to check and/or change, you can go to your httpd.conf file and look for the following part:

# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for
# running httpd, as with most system services.
#
User _www
Group _www

If you don't know where is Apache's httpd.conf file:

# Run this command to find where is httpd.conf 
# (look for this line `SERVER_CONFIG_FILE`, the last line here)
$ httpd -V
