suEXEC

[Joy Methew]

Apache default to running as the user apache.
This is safe and effective strategy for mostly static website,but many
dynamic website have CGI scripts that need more privileges.For example,a
script may need to write to a file,or access a database as a user other than
apache.
so here i want to use root user.
