Hi Micheal, so how do I intercept the http://FQDN/~username requests, and force them to redirect to a subdomain?
I presume I can make a symbolic link to the subdomain folder that they can still see as the public_html directory they are use to uploading to. These people are typically using things like Dreamweaver/GoLive and other web creation apps, which have a URL set for the upload to the server, they don't necessarily know what they are doing other than page layout for their stuff. I have tried over the years to get them to use something like Wordpress to make my life easier, but no takers so far! - Ernie. > Hi Ernie, > > > How does one go about adding personal web pages in 5210R like you can do > > in 5209R and prior versions. > > > > There use to be a web directory in each users home they could put pages > > into, that seems to be missing in 5210R and access via a url like" > > http://example.com/~bob or https://www.example.com/~ernie > > Sorry, but that feature is not implemented in 5210R and it won't be > coming back. > > In order to work, "User Owned Webs" required relaxed permissions on > directories all the way down to the ~username/web directories in order > for Apache to be able to access the webpages there.
