I appologise this is my first post, I will gladly have a further look around to see if this has been posted elsewhere, but so far it has not, or it doesnt quite explain in full what I need. If anyone here can help me out, I would really appreciate this. I want to make sure I do this right, as in the past I made a huge error and messed up my server.
I have two servers.
1, is our online dedicated server for mainly gaming, but I also use it as a hosting site for very basic webpages and a forum. This is on Centos 5.
2, My second server is a raspberry PI which I am using to test and learn from which is on Debian at home. Both servers are setup with just CLI access and Webmin.
I fully understand that these are two very different distro's but I am hoping what I need to do, can apply to both. All I want to be able to do is create a user, which has full read/write access ( and also be able to change a subfolder's acess ( to 777 for example ) to the var/www ( PI ) or var/www/html ( Centos ) folders using a client FTP application from a Windows PC, such as Filezilla.
As an example from my Raspberry PI, I wanted to try this from root:
Code:
chown -R piweb:piweb /var/www/
I assume, this on Centos would be :
Code:
chown -R webuser:webuser /var/www/html
But im not so sure if this is right, or if there is a better way to do it? Any help would be great, thanks for your time.
Thanks

I have several live websites running in the /var/www/XXXX directory. Initially when I did the Debian install I limited the web directory to 6GB. I am now outgrowing that limit. Question is:
Is there a simple way to add space to the web directory???

Hi, first post. I have no Linux experience. I have an e-friend that set me up a VPS and my website with Apache and FTP access so I could upload my files the way I do it regularly with my shared hosting. The OS in the VPS is Fedora by the way. Now the thing is:

Hi all,
Exactly like my title says.
I am learning PHP and MySQL and I used to use /var/www/ to host (contain or store) my files (.htm/.php) for testing. I could configure, finally, apache2 to use ~/public_html instead.
Now I when I tried to use $_SERVER it still directs (I used echo to show... (7 Replies)

also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.

/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial

/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already
exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
