Here is the quick fix:

find a free user/group to run your apache. On Debian system, there is
www-data for both. You could use nobody/nogroup too.

Edit this file:

$FGS_HOME/www/bin/apache.init and add:

USER=www-data
GROUP=www-data

after the PORT directive.

After, run:

$ chmod -R www-data:www-data $FGS_HOME/www/logs

Then, you should be able to start your FGS.

In the next build of Apache for FGS, I will change the way apache.init
handle the user/group for Apache.

Guillaume
