RE: Apache2 Manhattan Virtual Classroom
Simo,
First of all "Thank you!" and I really mean that. I really appreciate this
list and the=e people on it who try to help each other. I believe the
directories are readable by www-data, since www-data is a member of the
manhat "Group" and manhat is a member of the "www-data" group. How can I
verify this is the case? What command can I issue to see what "rights" the
www-data "User" and "Group" have on those directories? I think you make a
good point, I want to explore this possibility.
Thanks again,

Hi,
Without knowing anything about Manhattan Virtual Classrooms, here is my
2 cents...
I guess that your virtual host files contain more than just the ScriptAlias
directives, right?
For setting up a virtual host, take a look at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/
Assuming that you have the Directory directives in which you have the Allow
from all (and other necessary options), are the directories under
/home/manhat/ accessible and readable by www-data?
Simo
