Grant Start / Stop Apache Server Permission to Normal User
Hi nixcraft

In other words i want to run apache as user with accesses like starting stopping and modifying httpd.conf file. please guide thanks tanweer

Yes, it is possible to run following command as normal users using sudo (super user do) commands. You need to type following command as root user to grant permissions. Let us grant user vivek start stop and edit permissions.
Use visudo command edit to edit the config file: Code:
visudo Code:
vivek localhost=/sbin/service httpd start,/sbin/service httpd stop, /sbin/service httpd restart vivek localhost=/bin/vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Code:
sudo /sbin/service httpd restart Code:
/bin/vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf See sudo tutorial for more info: Allow a normal user to run commands as root under Linux / UNIX operating systems However, I do not recommend editing file using vi as user can edit any other files too. This is may result into security issues! Just provide restart and other perms.
