title: Changing the user that nginx worker processes run under (Ubuntu 12.04)
body: <p>I have a manual install of nginx on Ubuntu 12.04. When I ran <code>./configure</code> I used the following options:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure --user=www-data --group=www-data --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the nginx worker processes run under the www-data user in the www-data group. However, I wish to change this to a different user (called nginx in my case).</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible to do after running <code>make</code> and <code>make install</code> already?</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
