Many web hosts I've seen will place all web content into the DocumentRoot and then assign permissions accordingly. Then they symlink the user's web directory to ~/public_html to make it visible in SSH/FTP. For example, one web host I use does this: /usr/home - Home /usr/www - Web (Apache DocumentRoot) /usr/boxes - Mailboxes So, user "bob" would have these directories: /usr/home/bob /usr/www/bob /usr/boxes/bob And a convenient symlink: /usr/home/bob/public_html -> /usr/www/bob -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
