URL Mapping - ApacheCon 2005
UserDir file permissions
  • Directory must be a+rx in order for files to be accessible

    
    chmod 755 /home/foo
    chmod 755 /home/foo/public_html
    		  

  • Some users may object

  • Put confidential files in other subdirectories with tighter file permissions on them

    
    mkdir /home/foo/sekrit
    chmod 700 /home/foo/sekrit
    		  

  • Or, just put all of your per-user web directories somewhere else

    
    UserDir /www/users/*/htdocs
