Re: [K12OSN] apache and student websites

[Paul Nelson <pnelson riverdale k12 or us>]

What OS is Pagemill running on? If you're using Windows and Samba, then
the solution is pretty easy. I made a new share just for the web folders
(public_html in each users folder) in the smb.conf file like this:

[webfiles]
   comment = User Webfolders
   path = /home/%u/public_html
   browseable = no
   read only = no
   preserve case = yes
   short preserve case =  no
   force create mode = 0775
   force directory mode = 0775

The last two lines will give you the right permissions.

Mount this share as the "w:" drive and train the kids to edit and
publish through this share instead of their home folder and it will
work.
