Title: use i-bay for primary website
Post by: Ed Clarke on May 07, 2002, 02:11:11 AM

Hi, sorry if this has been answered already.

I want to use an i-bay for the primary website. Is this possible?
This way I can use the web manager to assign the permissions on the directory.

OR --  How to assign permissions to the primary directory for group access.

I made a group called webedit that I need to allow to upload and change the
primary web pages.  What do I change to allow this?

Thanks

Haven't tried this, but it seems like it should work:

Set the primary domain to something other than your "real" domain (maybe set one up at dyndns.org or something).  Make a virtual domain for your "real" domain, and set it to use whatever ibay you want.

Kind of ugly, but I can't see why it wouldn't work...

Did anybody ever solve this problem?  Does one need to go to the shell and change the group name of the primary unix directory and all of its children?  

This seems like such a fundamental function given that it is the first place that most web users will access.  While a menu driven applet has been included to create a "starter" web site, there is nothing obvious to make other changes...
