Right management for a web server

Question

I just setup my new server, and there are problems with right management :

My /var/www is owned by root and the group "www-data".

But I would like my user could put his data in his /home/user. And when I do it (and change th VirtualHost), apache said "Permission denied"…

So how to setup correct rights ?

Answer 1

You need mod_userdir to enable per-user webdirectories.

There is a good documentation on how to set it up here
