Overview

The name (or #number) of the user to run httpd as. It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for running httpd, as with most system services.

If not specified, httpd will attempt to run with a UID you probably don't want:

[alert] (22)Invalid argument: getpwuid: couldn't determine user name from uid 4294967295, you probably need to modify the User directive
