Exclamation Access to /home/user and https issues


I hate bothering anyone when a little research can do the work. Like many others, Im new to all this. I have not been able to resolve these issues:

1) I have rooted users to their home directory (/home/user). Scripts on my site are set to display the images user place in their folders. The problem:
Mandrake keeps the privilages at 700. I tried to change it to 760 and it works for a while, but then eventually automatically returns to 700.
How can I keep my user folders set to 760?

2) This one is Apache, not Mandrake. I have set a name virtual host in my httpd.config file. It works, but when I use a browser to view the site, it requires https.
How can I have a name virtual host with just HTTP, not HTTPS?

Thank you to anyone with any help, or that can point me in the right direction.

- Adam

1) You'll need to modify the msec configuration files

Thanks Opjose!

/usr/share/msec/perm.4

Ill ask my Apache question in a more appropriate section.

Kind regards,

My problem with the nameVitrualHost:

I had a wildcard to my IP address:
NameVirtualHost *

rather than:
NameVirtualHost 111.222.333.44:80
