CMS running with root:root as user and group

Don't do that.

How to set all files with www-data:www-data and make the files executable?

chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/your/magento

and make the Apache running as www-data user.

I m getting chmod: invalid mode: `www-data:www-data' message.Is it chmod or chown? – blakcaps Aug 22 '11 at 11:03
Sorry, it should be `chown`. – quanta Aug 22 '11 at 11:06
Thanks.How to make apache run as www-data user? – blakcaps Aug 22 '11 at 11:12
Open the Apache configuration file - `httpd.conf`, and change `User`, `Group` to www-data. Don't forget to restart. – quanta Aug 22 '11 at 11:14
