Valkarie Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I\'m trying to get some information about setting up PHP on a Apache web server. My problem is mainly security because I won\'t be the only person on the server and the admin won\'t install PHP for me because he believes there is a security risk that I could (or anyone else using php) delete modify files in the other users web pages and this naturally is not allowed. I was wondering if anyone had any documentation on setting php up for web servers with multiple users eg. can only edit files in eg. /web/username else do a command like: die(\'you are not authorized to do this action\') something that simple. Anyway help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170-security-issues-related-to-apache-servers-and-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimL Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Have a look at this as a decent writeup on how to isolate vhosts. http://tushev.org/articles/linux-bsd/item/53-setting-up-your-multi-user-hosting-vps-server-apache-a-secure-way-to-run-several-joomla-worpress-drupal-sites Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170-security-issues-related-to-apache-servers-and-php/#findComment-1483221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
