As far as allowing the users to modify their own vhost settings, you would put |
| 23 |
something like this in httpd.conf: |
| 24 |
Include /(path to vhost file)/(user's vhost file).conf |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You would have to have an entry for each user, so it might be better to have a |
| 27 |
vhost list file that you might include in apache2.conf: |
| 28 |
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.list |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
And in vhosts.list put: |
| 31 |
Include /(path to vhost file)/(user A's vhost file).conf |
| 32 |
Include /(path to vhost file)/(user B's vhost file).conf |
| 33 |
... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If you put the appropriate user's permissions on those specific files, they |
| 36 |
should be able to access them. Just make sure that apache has permission to |
| 37 |
read them as well. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Something that you may want be concerned about though is that these people are |
| 40 |
modifying your web server's configuration. You may want to find a way to |
| 41 |
validate that these people aren't doing malicious things to their peices of |
| 42 |
the configurations. This might be accomplished by running a program that |
| 43 |
checks the files prior to restarting the server. Another concern is that |
| 44 |
each time a configuration change is applied you will need to restart apache, |
| 45 |
so "apachectl graceful" (or similar) would be ideal. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Perhaps a more viable solution than the one above may be to write a cgi script |
| 48 |
that allows them to view their configuration, and modify it. Then upon |
| 49 |
hitting "Apply", it might check it for errors or malicious options, write it |
| 50 |
to a file, and restart the server. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
With crontab, they should be able to type "crontab -e" and it should allow |
| 53 |
them to modify it. If you are having trouble with that, then it probably |
| 54 |
depends on which cron implementation you have. Some implementations require |
| 55 |
that the user be in a certain group, and other's seem to just put strict |
| 56 |
permissions on /usr/bin/crontab. |
