I've just got ' Beginning PHP5, Apache, Mysql, Web Development' for xmas this book is aimed at windows user with appendix for setting up on Linux. I already have the apps installed on my mail server.
My question is how do I create a 'test' folder in /srv/www/htdocs to run the examples in the book. I know I could su create the folder and then chmod it, but is there away I can do it with group permissions for the user.
When you install Apache, these folders will be made for you. Here is what I did to get my stuff going as a user AND be able to test is very easily.
As root I do `mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/website`, then I do `chown houghi:users /srv/www/htdocs/website` Next, again as root, I make the follwoing file: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/houghi.conf This file can have any name, as long as it ends in *.conf Look in the directory for more examples. This is how mine looks like: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin houghi ServerName houghi DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/website ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/houghi-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/houghi-access_log combined HostnameLookups Off UseCanonicalName Off ServerSignature On <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/website"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>
I then reastart apache with `rcapche2 restart` and if there are no errors, I can log out. I will now be able to reach the website with http://houghi
Then as user I want it to be able to reach it easily, so I do `ln -s /srv/www/htdocs/website` in my homedirectory. Now I can add a page in ~/website. I add test.php with first just `hello world` as content.
I then look at http://houghi and see the file test.php wich I click and I should be able to see `Hello world`.
To sum it up:
1) make directory as root
2) chown (change owner) from directory
3) Add virtual host
4) restart Apache
5) symlink directory
Step 5 is not really needed. However it is convinient.
Cheers for this,
Works a charm.
