Nope--as long as the user creates a 'public_html' directory within his directory, he can have a website without modifying the httpd.conf file. The url would be http://somehost.com/~username/ . Aliases would be used only if you wanted the url to either be something like http://somehost.com/username/, or had other places that you were storing web documents (other than the document root). -- Michael Viron Registered Linux User #81978 Senior Systems & Administration Consultant Web Spinners, University of West Florida
