Question

1. on redhat6 I installed httpd2.2 & tomcat6.
2. the httpd's user is "apache".
3. the tomcat6's user is "tomcat".
4. now I want use "apache" run both httpd & tomcat.
5. how to config tomcat ?

Why I ask this: 1. now I have a legacy system, php on front and java on background. 2. the system have a config import function. 3. when I upload config file on php UI, the php will great a tmp file in /tmp/ * 4. but the java can not read the tmp file, because the tomcat user is "tomcat" and the httpd user is "apache".

so I want to run tomcat as "apache"
