Yes, that information may help you in the future, which is great, but it may open a security issue for someone else and why forum members post information such as this one.

I again note though, the described error about not being able to save the file, at what point in trying to access the define page was that log generated?
Respectfully, I have already clarified that my instructions are meant for only a certain kind of systems, I really ignore how other systems work.
There is a thought-process behind the way I explained, mainly the way apache2 defines envvars:
Code:
# envvars - default environment variables for apache2ctl

# this won't be correct after changing uid
unset HOME

# for supporting multiple apache2 instances
if [ "${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}" != "${APACHE_CONFDIR}" ] ; then
    SUFFIX="-${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}"
else
    SUFFIX=
fi

# Since there is no sane way to get the parsed apache2 config in scripts, some
# settings are defined via environment variables and then used in apache2ctl,
# /etc/init.d/apache2, /etc/logrotate.d/apache2, etc.
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
Please, let's not continue beating a dead horse.
This is a friendly remark, please don't take to offense.
