I'm setting up a FreeBSD/Apache (or Stronghold-Apache for SSL) system to be a web/ftp/mail server. The system will eventually support a fair number of domains, some with their own IP addresses, some hosted under a single IP. As this is my first time at this, I'm wondering if there are any conventional ways of organizing things, for convenience, security (esp. with use of SSL), ease of backup, and so on. As far as WWW access is concerned, Apache itself seems quite flexible in this regard. For example, one host I use running FreeBSD has a symlink under each user account, like usr/home/user1/public_html --> usr/www/users/user1 usr/home/user2/public_html --> usr/www/users/user2 etc. and all the www accessible information is thus stored under usr/www . Daily gzipped user clog files are placed in a directory under usr/home/userx (presumably by a cron job). I have lots of other questions (e.g, regarding logs, user cgi access, ftp, email forwarding and POP), but perhaps there is some place this sort of thing is addressed without my having to reinvent the wheel? -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
