Thanks everyone for your help. I am really grateful. I am tied up tonight, so will have a go tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

Thanks again - I will be in touch

When I was last at the LUG we installed Virtual hosting on Apache.

We also changed Apache to run as webgroup not nogroup. Can anyone recall why?!

Also we changed ownership of the relevant files by issuing these commands:

# cd /home/edward
# chown edward.webgroup -R public_html

I note that public_html is in webgroup and owned by edward

However all the individual files and folders under public_html are user edward and group users, not group webgroup as I would have expected.

My website (virtual defined in httpd.conf) in /home/edward/public_html works fine, so what is going on here please? Why did the group membership of the files not change and does it matter?

The virtual host is defined:

<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName site1
   ServerAlias SCA *.site1
   DocumentRoot /home/edward/public_html
 </VirtualHost>


Thanks

PS - Mark, I have chickened out, and if I can, will bring machine to next LUG to have help installing SUSE 10.1 or whatever!!
