Mailing List Archive: Off topic: Newbie trouble Installing Apache for Mythweb

two options:

add a user named 'apache' to your system, copying all the settings from
the exiting 'nobody' user.

i.e. nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin

or, edit httpd.conf and change the user apache runs as from 'apache' to
'nobody'
