5.4???
you are aware you are missing 7 upgrades to the old legacy support RHEL5 OS
the current is RHEL 5.11
check the output of this
Code:
su -
cat /etc/redhat-release
if it states 5.4
UPGRADE ASAP!!!
Code:
su -
yum --releasever=5.11 upgrade
5.4 is MISSING!! the last 5 years of SECURITY UPDATES
the last 5.4 update was in May of 2010
make SURE you are running 5.11
THEN worry about a "public_html" folder
FIX your security first
because the "public_html" folder is for public access
