User 'westpress' has it's own directory in the /home directory. (Incidently, I will be setting up three other websites for employees and want them all to be managed by the same Apache server.) So I will not be using the RH configured DocRoot path of '/var/www/html'. Instead, I will be setting up /home/*/public_html paths for everything
Have you seen these pieces of the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file? They control the /home/*/public_html directories you want to use, and the whole thing is pretty much pre-cooked. I have a couple of virtual hosts going, and users have their home directory personal sites, and everything took about 2 minutes to get going. (So good news, it can be done and is not hard... just something is wrong on your system at the moment).
# # UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home # directory if a ~user request is received. # # The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be # accessible to the webserver userid. This usually means that ~userid # must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions # of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable. # Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message. # # See also: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden # #<IfModule mod_userdir.c> # UserDir public_html #</IfModule>
# # 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 # 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>
As far as virtual hosts, perhaps you could be more specific? I run apache as user/group apache, but my vhost directories are owned by joe, john, and smith, and no one has any problems. Perhaps show us the <Virtualhost> paragraphs you are using, an "ls -al" of the virtualhost home directory... some DETAIL. All you've said is that it's not working due to permissions errors, but no one can double-check your assumptions and conclusions if you don't provide data.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Probably so. However, you really need to provide more stuff.
