[users@httpd] simple question
I have installed apache on my mandrake system and I can access the deafult homepage on it. My question is:
How do I make it so that users on the system can put up their own hompages ? I tried making a softlink in /var/www/html pointing to a users home directory, lets call him john, like this: "ln -s /home/john/www john" and then of course made a dir in /home/john called www, but it won´t work.
I have looked through several "getting started" guides but I haven´t found anything about this.

Also make sure that your directory permissions for the users are such
that the web server user can "get to" the files in your user
directories. I'm not familiar with default Mandrake settings, but I
know RedHat's default file permissions on user home directories is
"drwx------", which doesn't allow apache to read the files.

Hi Daniel,
how about first creating the directory /home/john/www
mkdir -p /home/john/www
and then creating the softlink.
Works on my unix machines without any problems.
