Title: Primary I-bay
Post by: John Crisp on November 21, 2001, 09:13:52 PM

Just a quick question.

When you install e-smith (I have V5) it automatically sets up the first i-bay. I wanted ones with my own names.

Can I delete the primary one (which isn't visible in the sever manager) and if so how ?

You can CHMOD 777 your primary i-bay en make your own default website.
When someone connect to your www.yourdomain.xxx it shows directly the primary website.

I don't think you want to change the permissions on the Primary web site.  What does that accomplish?  The default settings allow you to host a web site.

As far as deleting the Primary I-Bay, I suppose you could, buy why?  If you want nothing in it then reduce the permissions to chmod 700.  That way if there is a problem in the future you can change the permissions back to the default (755) setting and no harm done. If you are really paranoid then chmod 400 the primary e-bay.  This will prevent anyone from writing or executing (including you) in thar I-Bay and allow you as root to see that I-Bay only.  Therefore that I-Bay will never be larger than a few directories and one index.html file that no one can see.  Then if it causes problems in the future, then "chmod 755 primary" and everything is back to normal.
