About AlternC
AlternC is a hosting control panel, a software suite which makes web and mail server management easier. AlternC depends on ACLs to manage user rights for the web folders. You need to ensure your filesystems didn’t disable ACL in the partition that will contain your user data. AlternC can also manage disk quotas for each user. As opposed to ACLs, quotas are not mandatory for AlternC to work. If they are not enabled or installed, AlternC will consider that each user has unlimited web space. To run AlternC, you need a MySQL server.
