/var/www & public_html

Mat1337 · 01-04-2009, 08:43 AM

Hi guys.

I just got a server going, after about 3 days of experimenting. These are the specs below.

--------------------
CentOS 5.2
Apache + PHP + MySQL + Webmin + Usermin

All via yum, so they're all the latest versions.
--------------------

Question:

The directory for the website is /var/www/html - How do I get it like cPanel, where each user has there own public_html directory?

cPanel: /home/ACCOUNT/public_html

Thanks

OK, it's Apache Module mod_userdir - How do I turn it on/change it to?

Assuming the module is enabled:

this is accomplished with USERMIN. using WEBMIN >Usermin Configuration > Available Modules >Apache Options Files. the user logs into {site}:20000 and gets their interface from there. at this time, i am not sure how the public gets to that user webpage but i see there is an .htaccess thing available.

I got the same problem and find this post useful. What I want is to let my user account to have their own public_html directory, so that they can access by www.domain.com/~user

How to ensure the userDir module in apache is load/enabled? Am I asking the wrong question? Please help

To enable the apache module, type

Code:

a2enmod

that the Debian way, anyone know howto in other distribution like Fedora?

i use phpinfo - the mods are listed there; i'm sure there is a cli for that but i cant ever remember them
Am I asking the wrong question? not sure. havent used it in a long while and cant even recall the address syntax... but usermod of some kind because i believe that webmin runs that show - not the regular server apache thing.
here is a link! http://books.google.com/books?id=FyU...ed=0CD4Q6AEwBg

From the link shown below, I found this:

Quote:

For centos/ fedora and other redhat based distributions, things work different than in Ubuntu/ Debian, you need to modify *.conf file stored in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory. So for example if you don`t want to use the module expire, to disable this module, you need to rename expire.conf to mod_expire.bkp and then restart apache.
