What about this as a simple solution? In your home dir create a directory called "mywebdata" su to root and then: cd /var/www/html Now create a link to your home directory ln -s /home/myusername/mywebdata mywebdata Now you can happily edit files in your /home/myusername/webdata directory without having to mess around with permissions and they will show up at just fine at http://localhost/mywebdata/ As far as apache is concerned the data is located in /var/www/html/ There may be some security issues as the files will have user and group of the user, rather than 'root' or 'apache' etc. Can someone more knowledgeable please comment on this?
