[Xymon] Installing xymon/apache as a non-root user

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Installing Xymon as a non-root user should be fine.  It only needs root to set permissions then it runs as a normal user.  The problem with Apache is it can't run on port 80 without root access.

Subject: [Xymon] Installing xymon/apache as a non-root user

My company changed their policy to not give out root user access on their virtual environments.  I need to install both apache, xymon and all related packages on the virtual environment running RedHat.  The question is has anyone successfully installed xymon and apache as a non-root user that can share instructions of how to do that.  I usually installed xymon and apache with root either manually compiling or using rpm but never as non-root.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
