Apache support for multiple domains

["Paul McHale" <pmchale@doubleesolutions.com>]

Hi,

I want to do very domain hosting for family and friends.  What I have so far
is multiple IPs and how to assign them to the same Ethernet card.  I also
know how to set up users and allow them to update their own page at
www.mydomain.com/~username.  Here is my attempt at support multiple domains:

I am heading in this direction:  Multiple Virtual servers each with it's own
IP being tied to the following document root directories:

DocumentRoot /sites/www.domain1.com/
DocumentRoot /sites/www.domain2.com/
DocumentRoot /sites/www.domain3.com/

The next question would be: How do I allow users to ftp the their domain and
update the pages?

I plan to add one user per domain and make the web document root their home
directory.  That way FTP will default to that directory for uploading web
pages.

Lastly, I was going to give their account recursive ownership of their
document root.

Does this sound like a plan?  If anyone else has done domain hosting, I
would appreciate the input.  I don't like this because it gives people
accounts on the server.  Because I want them to have file access, I don't
see a way around it.  I guess I'll also give them mail accounts while I'm at
it :)

Best Regards,

paul
