Either I'm stupid, or I expect entirely way to much from Microsoft.. Here's the scoop. Setting up a new webserver, plan on moving all the old virtuals over to it. We're using NIS for user authentication. /v/website1 owned by owner1.patron /v/website2 owned by owner2.patron ... etc. So when they connect & login using FTP, everything works fine.. Configured apache with: --enable-suexec \ --suexec-caller=root \ --suexec-gidmin=20 \ --fpexec-caller=root \ --fpexec-logfile=/var/log/fpexec.log \ --fpexec-gidmin=20 \ --fpexec-user=nobody \ --fpexec-group=nogroup ... chown'd -R nobody.nogroup /usr/local/frontpage 1st problem is, if /v/website1 isn't chowned nobody.nogroup, Frontpage doesn't and suEXEC don't work for some reason.. If it is chown'd nobody.nogroup then my users can't write to their directories while FTP'd in, and CGI scripts don't work... Am I missing the point, or what? I need my users to be able to get into their servers via FTP -or- Frontpage, and my Apache needs to be able to access users home directories for websites as well (hence running it as root w/suEXEC). HELP! Please CC this to 'robert@id.net', I'm desperate and stuck in the middle of this upgrade...
