Hi. I've set up a webserver at home now, which works fine, however, I've set documentroot to /var/www/htdocs, and this is not writeable by my regular user, and I would like to know what's the most elegant approach for making html writable to a regular user? I could do chown -R <user> /var/www/htdocs, but I don't want to put my system at risk, and using /home/<user>/public_html gives me "permission denied" when trying to access it via a browser.
This may be an SELinux issue. Make sure you have UserDir enabled in httpd.conf, then do:
# setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs 1 # chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t ~user/public_html (see "man httpd_selinux" for details) Paul.
