Hi
I have a user that I use for doing the odd bit of work on my
freebsd-6.1-RELEASE machine.
I wanted to set apache to work from:
/home/user/public_html/
instead of the default location. I can create these folders no
problems but i have to do it as root:
mkdir /home/user/public_html/
How do I ensure my user can copy files from gui (gnome) to this
folder. Im told I dont have permission to copy to this folder.
Also apache tells me I dont have permission when I change the
DocumentRoot to point to /home/user/public_html/
Just not sure how to go about giving a user permissions on
files/folders I want them to be able to edit. Any pointers?
Thanks

To change a directory ownership use chown user /home/user/public_html
obviously substituting user for the desired username. As for your
public_html issues, you need to search your apache configuration file
for the UserDir module section and if it's disabled, enable it. Mine
looks like this:
<IfModule userdir_module>
UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root toor daemon operator bin tty kmem games news
man sshd bind proxy _pflogd _dhcp uucp pop www nobody$
#
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
</IfModule>
