Hi,
Just wondering… who should own the files in web server root, is it root or a normal user?
/jlar
Anyone but the user apache runs under. Exception possible for files the webserver has to touch.

Either way. Generally speaking it’s a bad idea for the web server user
(‘wwwrun’ by default as I recall) to own the files, or be able to write
or execute them, but otherwise as long as that user can read them you
should be okay.
Good luck.

You can also change the default root to your public_html if you are the only user or use it as a virtual directory.
Especially if your just doing personal stuff with the server
