Mine run fine.. but set the wrong ownership as (apache.apache) so I'm unable to remove files unless I login as ROOT to delete them.

Help please.

Why not run your webserver under your name? That's the easiest solution.
Edit: You could setup a virtual host directive which points to your webspace and use the "User" directive to run that virtual host under.

For example, if you're site was called www.foobar.com, and want it to run under user aceman, then you'd setup a virtual host like this:

<VirtualHost (ip address here)>
ServerAdmin webmaster@www.foobar.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/document/root
ServerName www.foobar.com
ErrorLog logs/www.foobar.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/www.foobar.com-access_log
User aceman
</VirtualHost>

That way the main server is still running under root or in your case apache and everything else for your website is handled by aceman.
