    I updated Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4 last week and one thing i noticed is that /home/cpaneluser/public_html is owned by cpaneluser and group under nobody

    Code:
    drwxr-x---  11 cpaneluser nobody  4096 Jan 12 01:13 public_html/
    Is this normal?

    And using using "top" on SSH, I also see "nobody" on the list under USER.


    How can I fix this?

    This is my server config:
    Code:
    Default PHP Version (.php files)	5
PHP 5 Handler	suphp
 	 
Apache suEXEC	on
Apache Ruid2	off

    Both permissions and ownership of public_html are correct.

    Apache does run under nobody. The php process created under it will run under their respective user.

    Yes, the ownership values you referenced are normal, as indicated by the other poster. It's normal for Apache to run as "nobody". The exception to this is if you are using Mod_Ruid2:

    EasyApache - Mod_Ruid2

    Thank you.
