apache2: start processes with other than www-data user

apache2 seem to start new processes with www-data user. How could I make it start new processes with some other user? ubuntu 11.04 by the way.

This can only be changed globally (not for single processes or vhosts) with the statements User and Group in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. For CGI’s, you can use the suexec feature to spawn processes with another user id.
