hi Terry, long time no talk > My 2c on this/AIUII. > > You don't login as "apache" > On my system, user "apache" doens't have a shell that you can log into. > from /etc/passwd: apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/bin/false > It is a security feature. which leads me to another Q: if I have users that simply have web server and mail server hosted, and, all they get is ftp access, is that the way to edit their 'entitlements', as per apache sample above ? > To start and stop your apache server /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd > start|stop|status|??? > > Then in your browser http:localhost or ip or whatever. yes, that part is OK, it's the permissions I need to understand, the pages are not served based on insufficient permission so, I should give files: rw r r directories: xrw xr xr ? I see every user I've made gets a group made as well, should I make a group, say, web_users, and, put all users there ? then , manage it by that group ?
