Look for the httpd.conf or apache.conf file
/var/www/apache2/joomla seems like an odd directory structure to me, are
you sure it's not /var/apache2/www/joomla?
In any case, that aside, according to this site:
http://www.control-escape.com/web/configuring-apache2-debian.html
The most likely place for your apache config file is:
/etc/apache2/
And the most likely name is apache2.conf
So, find that config file and read it in whateever your favorite manner
is(more, less, cat, print, vi, vim, kedit, whatever)
Look for 2 lines in the file:
User unix-userid
and
Group unix-groupid
Generally, I've found them to be:
User apache
Group apache
But it could be different in your case.
That is the userid and group that apache is running as, so if your going
to chown files(and chgrp for that manner) change them to whatever the
user and group directives are set to.
