HOWTO ~username ?

[0livier]

Hi,

 

I'm using a default installation of Uniserver 3.2a under WinXP.

 

I'd like to create multiple user directories.

 

I thought I just have to create /user1/, /user2/,... under the /home/ directory of the server but I can't access them neither with http://localhost/~user1/ nor with http://localhost/home/user1/.

 

What do I have to do to configure such an arborescence ?

 

Thanks in advance...

The user directories are created in W:/www not W:/home

 

Also check to make sure that the option is turned on in the httpd.conf file. I am not too sure if it is on in 3.2a.

all you got to do is make sure that you got the following

for Per-user web directories

#1

in the httpd.conf  UserDir "/www/" with out the "#"

 

now this is set up for pc's that has got more than 1 user it uses your windows name being giving for example Owner or bob or rbowen when you log in to your pc .

#2

ok now we got to put the folder in it's rightful place we need to make a folder in

example

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner

so it looks like this

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\www

#3

the url would be

example

 

http://localhost/~Owner/

 

Hope it helps out

Be very careful when you use this setting....

how would you put a no-ip.com address over the username?

[olajideolaolorun]

After seeting it up right on localhost, replace localhost with the no-ip address?

 

http://blah.no-ip.com/Owner
