After setting up 1-Click LAMP, how to properly create users for 2 virtual hosts (2 domains) with right file permissions ?

Question

Hi,I just set up a LAMP droplet following the 1-Click install guide.It worked fine, i have ssh access I am now logged in as root. The web root is now at /var/www/html which can be accessed through the droplet’s public ip or the domain name i ‘attached’ following this part of the guide : ... Two DNS records: An A record from a domain (e.g., example.com) to the server’s IP address An A record from a domain prefaced with www (e.g., www.example.com) to the server’s IP address Now, i would like to create 2 users. Each one will be for managing a distinct website (distinct domain name and folder) I tried doing this vhosts configuration a few months ago (not on digitalocean droplets), i had tons of file permission related errors Is there a guide that i can follow for this specific usecase ? Thanks

Hi @GroovySTK , I’ll recommend using an Apache Module : apache2-mpm-itk . This module is an MPM module for the apache web server which allows you to run each of your virtual host under a separate uid and gid i.e. the scripts and configuration files for one virtual host are completely separated from that of others and therefore no longer have to be readable for all of them. First step is to install apache2-mpm-itk and enable it in order to use its functionality :- sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-itk sudo a2enmod mpm_itk Now a very simple virtual file for a domain should look like ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /home/user1/public_html/ AssignUserId user1 user1 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined Notice the AssignUserId user1 user1 That’s your way of separating with users.
