why do you want to do this sort of thing via a web page rather than 
the more usual ssh login?

obviously running apache as root is a very bad idea. Even if you have 
no outside connection it clearly should not have acces to the whole 
system.

if you really feel the need for a shutdown button, link it to a cgi 
program owned by root and with suid bit set.

man chmod.
