Hello im a newbie but im getting hang of linux little by little.
Im running Suse 10.1 Apache2 php server.....
What im trying to do is i have a domain pointed to one of the /home/user/public_html folder....what i want to do is i want to point /home/another_user/public_html under the same domain name so my outcome would be http://www.mydomain.com/another_user....
Can someone help me out????
thanx in advance....

Typically you just save an index.html in /home/another_user/public_html and then do www.mydomain.com/~another_user (notice the ~). Sometimes this needs to be enabled in one of the apache config files. I don't use Suse, so I'm not sure where that lives. In Debian it's in the /etc/apache2 directory...

In my apache2.conf file there's a section that says

Code:

#UserDir is now a module
UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
     AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
     Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

Suse might use the http.conf file.

Also, in Debian, the way to make sure this is being loaded is to put a symlink in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled for files userdir.conf and userdir.load. The actual files are in /etc/apache2/mods-available. So you would cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and then ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load userdir.load and the same for userdir.conf. They might already be there...
