How to make Apache run as current user

or

Edit the following file as root: /etc/apache2/envvars

using the command:

change the user and group to yourself if there is only one user and you will never have permissions problems again.

I.E., if you are only logging in and running the server as user ‘big_dog’:

Heck, for that matter you could change that user to the current user I’m sure somehow. Then, install user_dir you all have webs only you can have full control of (unless you modify this).

Restart the server (if unsure, just reboot or goole) and you are good to go.
