I also found that in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file you can change 
the group apache runs as from apache to www (or whatever group you 
want).  Then start up /etc/init.d/httpd as root for it to take effect 
(at least that what it says in the httpd.conf file).

My question now is which is the better way?

I'll have to try both ways. :)
