You could move your html directory into your home directory and
change the document root in apache (e.g. create/use a /home/your user
name/public_html dir). If you plan on hosting other domains you
would be better off setting up all domains as virtual domains. I
haven't explored it but I am sure you can setup users to have a
default public_html dir and have apache use that for user and domain
websites. Using /home/user/public_html for websites will also
make samba setup easier. You will also be able to setup FTP so that
all users will only see/have access to their /home/user dir. If you
want to use/allow cgi you will also need to change the script alias
path in apache. I believe dir's need to be set read/execute for all,
possibly all dir's, in the path to the html and cgi dir's, from /
down.
