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:
http://www.mydomain.com presents itself with a standard welcoming page from Apache/Fedora. When I insert an index.html inside the var/www/html I get a 403 Forbidden error. With my limited knowledge I assume this is a permissions issue so I go into the FTP and CHMOD it, however, no CHMOD works, it comes back as:
My understanding is that something isn't allowing me to CHMOD the html folder, however, I don't know if that's really needed for what I want to do, which is just upload my files (basically, my website) to the html folder. If there is a way to do this, I'm all hears

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.

dtc_kill_vps_disk(8) System Manager's Manual dtc_kill_vps_disk(8)NAME
dtc_kill_vps_disk - destroy LVM disks for freeing space
SYNOPSIS
dtc_kill_vps_disk VPS_NUMBER [ lvm|loopback ]
DESCRIPTION
dtc_kill_vps_disk This shell script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc panel to manage a Xen VPS server.
This script is used to delete a partitions that was used by a VPS. It will delete the normal partition that was used as a root disk, and
the swap partition.
dtc_kill_vps_disk is to be used by the dtc-xen SOAP server, but can also be used as a standalone userland tool.
OPTIONS
VPS_NUMBER has to be a number between 01 and 19. Let's say the number is 16, and that dtc-xen is configured to use the volume group called
lvm1, then this script will create /dev/lvm1/xen16 and /dev/lvm1/xen16swap.
IMAGE_TYPE This parameter can have 2 values: either lvm or loopback. If ommited, then lvm is used. If lvm is used, then this script will
create a partition using lvmcreate, otherwise it will create an image file. Both will later be used for the VPS.
EXAMPLE
dtc_setup_vps_disk 04 lvm
This will delete the 2 LVM partitions that were used by the VPS named xen04, the first one being the root partition, and the second one
being the swap partition.
