Here's one begginer question.
I have never run apache before on my home machine, and now it's up. But if I set chmod 700 to my /home/user dir, pages don't show up  It needs to be 755. But with permission set that high, every user of my machine has access to /home/user dir and files in it. Can this be avoided somehow?
Thank you |

Well, you could chown the group to the same as apache runs, afterwards chmod 755.
example:
| Code: |
chown youruser:apache /home/youruser/public_html
chmod 750 /home/youruser/public_html
|
However if you're running for example mod_php and you're in a shared webhosting environment, it's possible for others to browse your files with a php script.
Cheers,
Chris |
