RE: [UUG/MLUG] www accounts for users

["McIntosh, Jason W." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

A couple of notes:
1) If this is the default installation of Apache, I think it defaults to the
www home directory as "public_html".
2) The directory needs the permissions of 755, as do all subdirs underneath
it.  Nasty/nice thing I learned about Apache from a class, is that unless
all the subdirs have the right perms, any cgi's in those dirs won't
necessarily run.  So, set those right.

Lastly, make sure you have an index.html page in there, b/c I don't remember
if Apache also defaults to allowing directory scans if it can't find that
file.
See if that helps,
Jason

Subject: [UUG/MLUG] www accounts for users



say I have two users, joe and bob.  They want to put a webpage up on the
server. I've looked around and can't find anything on how to do this.  I
tried it with my account by creating a www directory, setting chmod a+r
and putting sample pages in but all it get is 403 forbidden access.  Is
there something else I'm missing??
