Whichever user account you are using at the time you extract the Tomcat
binaries will be the owner of the Tomcat directory tree.

You have to install Apache as root since it binds to port 80. You
define the unprivileged user in httpd.conf.

As far as not using su, just login as the web server user and start the
scripts, you only need to use su if you're logged in as root.
