web sharing and network users

[Anonymous]

Is it possible for network users to enable personal web sharing on their network home and then get to the site anywhere?

I should note that I have read the docs for this and it says that all I need to do is let the users select persona web sharing in prefs and the browse to http://myserver.mydomain/~student

All I get is
You don’t have permission to access /~student/ on this server.

Hi,

Take a look at your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file, there should be a line in there telling to include all the config files in the /etc/httpd/users directory.

In this directory you’ll find the config files of all the (web sharing) users. In this file there sould be a directive like:

<Directory “/path/to/home-sir/Sites”>

Check if this path is pointing to the actual (Network) home directory, it could be that this directive is pointing to the location where the local home directories are stored.

thanks, will check that. will let you know later if it worked.

no, that doesnt seem to work

From the file though it did seem to mention web sharing isnt available for network users on os x server, are you sure this should work?

I want to have around 200 of our open directory users to be able to share web pages from their home folders on the server.
