I need a little bit of help with the installation. One, where are the actual folders for users being created? I don't see any being made after I "make them" through the program. Two, I can't seem to upload any files. I select the file, press upload, and nothing happens. Someone help me!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The files for users are created in the main installation directory (ie /home/phpwebhosting/public_html/username). The files for groups are in a separate groups folder (ie /home/phpwebhosting/public_html/groups/groupname).
It is a common problem to assume that Apache will be able to create new directories and files. By default, Apache is run from the 'nobody' account, which has no special access. The way to compensate for this is to either give everyone write access to the public_html directory (bad idea), or to chown the directory to nobody (better idea). i.e. 'chown -R nobody:nobody /home/phpwebhosting/public_html'
Some of the older versions of PHPWebHosting came without a groups directory, so you should create that first. Its been fixed in the CVS tree, but the latest beta's came without one if I remember correctly.
As for the file upload not working, the permissions problem may fix that. All recent browsers (3.0+ I believe) support file uploads, and I haven't had any other complaints.
Reply if it still doesn't work. I'd be interested to know what the problem is.
