    1. Which linux user should be used to install wordpress, root or non-root?

    2. In both cases, Which linux user does wordpress will be operating as? The user who install wordpress or a specific user that wordpress automatically created during the installation process?

    Thanks.

  • Hey

    You can install with either user, The user just needs to have access to the WWW wheelgroup,

    And for the second question the user that installs WordPress will access the files on the server. The specific user that WP creates manages the web end of the files.

    There are two instances the front end and back end users. Front End is the user WP creates, Back End is the server based user or FTP user.

    Hope this helps.
