'Proxying' with Apache basically means that you tell Apache to take all requests of a certain type, and forward them somewhere else. In this case, I assume each user has a separate instance of Apache which they're allowed to configure and which listens on a port other than 80; then you just proxy requests on port 80 for a user's domain to the port their Apache is listening on, and their Apache processes the request.
That is correct. The account also gets a minimum of two acounts: 1. Main account 2. Web account (what apache runs as) The web account doesn't have a shell and we use group rights to allow the main account to write to the document root. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
I do the same thing with my TextDrive account; I'm currently running an instance of the poll app from the tutorial using lighttpd+FastCGI, and I just have Apache proxy requests for that domain to the port lighttpd is listening on. It's a pretty handy trick. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin
