If you look in /etc/passwd , you'll probably see that the shell for the
apache user is /sbin/nologin. This means that the apache user has no
shell, is not allowed to log in, and you can't use su to become that
user. A lot of the non-user users on Redhat-ish systems are set up like
that.

If you're going to be changing the files in apache's DocumentRoot
frequently, then why not make it so that those files are owned by your
user instead of apache? That'd make it a heck of a lot more convenient.
Changing the ownership of apache's config files is potentially less
useful because IIRC restarting apache requires you to be root anyway.
