Hi,

Could you tell your Linux distro?

Do you get any SELinux errors, when you try to access userdir?

Could you post output of following commands:

ls -la /home
 
ls -la ~/ |grep public_html

ls -laZ ~/ |grep public_html
 
ls -laZ ~/public_html/

Hi Xavier,

Yes this is possible, you can just set that address to /etc/hosts file (pointing to right ip address) and add same address to your apache virtual host, like following:

ServerName testuser.project.net

# Other directives here

Hi Xavier,

You can do this first catching all subdomains with your virtual host, like:

ServerName testuser.project.net
ServerAlias *.project.net
 
# Other directives here

Then create .htaccess with something like following content:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#### URL Rewrite Handler for Subdomains (by Randall Krause) ####

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_SUBDOMAIN} ="" 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]+)\.project\.net\.?(:80)?$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subdomains/%1 -d 
RewriteRule ^(.*) subdomains/%1/$1 [E=SUBDOMAIN:%1,L] 
RewriteRule ^ - [E=SUBDOMAIN:%{ENV:REDIRECT_SUBDOMAIN},L] 

Another way is setup virtual hosts for each user, example using some simple bash script, which create folders and virtual host files.

Hi Matthew,

Simply add AllowOverride FileInfo line to your userdir.conf:

        Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
 
        ## Apache 2.4 users use following ##
        Require all granted
 
        AllowOverride FileInfo

And then restart apache:

service httpd restart
