Hi all,
I'm new to Fedora and linux for servers in general. I have linux experience but not as a server.

Here's the scenario I'd like:

I want to create a user for each website I'm going to host, e.g. myawesomesitedotcom, anothersitedotnet, etc.

I want to direct each site to a wwwroot within the home folders.
E.g.

myawesomesite.com would point to /home/myawesomesitedotcom/wwwroot
anothersitedotnet would point to /home/anothersitedotnet/wwwroot

I was able to get some dummy virtual hosts working when they were in the locations /wwwroot/site1 and /wwwroot/site2

Now that I'm setting up these sites in the home folders like I mentioned above, I'm getting 403's. I made all of the wwwroot folders and files within them 777 and it still doesn't work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and I welcome other similar methods/ideas for setting up multiple sites where there's security among users (i.e. they can only access their own folders).

post in your apache conf file, where you put in the virtual hosts.
also show us the permissions and owners of /wwwroot etc.

mark is my username. The owner for the wwwroot folder and its content is mark and the group is mark.

Currently, I'm having GUI problems, so only CLI is working from a remote location. I tried to add the apache user to the group mark. I did:

usermod -g mark apache

It still doesn't work.

Hi,

Shouldn't this :
Allow from all
Order allow,deny

be in opposite order:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
