So...presuming you get to control the server environment, and we're
using Linux. What is the ideal way to configure your server so that:
The web server can read/write/edit files for the virtual host joomla
is being installed on
Multiple users can ssh/ftp to the server and read/write/edit
files[including ones created by each other and the webserver] for that
virtual host[and can edit any files the web server created]
AND
you can have a second virtual host that the web server can
read/write/edit files in and other users can as well but programs in
the first virtual host can't be run by the server and edit files in
the second one.
I will recommend Red Hat/CentOS for package management and general ease
of finding server assistance. However, if you're familiar with another
distro, use that. Ease of use is the name of that game.
To answer the "second virtual" question, you don't. You run a second
Apache instance on the machine and redirect to a different port or IP.
Generally the latter. The issue is that one Apache instance runs as the
same user and has write rights to both directories. So unless you can
use authentication to limit what the web pages serve and thus what they
can edit, the Apache process can do either.
