Ok, I have mod_vd working, but now I need to find out how to limit directories. I have domain folders inside of net,com,org folders. These domain folders should not be allowed to interect with each other. Say a client uploads a file management script, they should not be able to access the other user folders, or write to them in any way. I have my php base directory set to the directory holding the net,com,org folders. I think this would be a job for mod_security, but I have no idea how to do it.

Thanks!

Here's a fairly well written page from the Apache manual:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html

The information on this page will give you the basics

After reading the info on that page check out the section Authorization (Related Modules and Directives | Authorization (see the Require directive)) near top of the page, and read about the capabilities of the various mods listed. I don't know if mod-security is the right way to go or not - maybe someone else can comment on it's use in a situation like this.

thanks, I gave the page a read.

however, that looks like passwording and creating users for directories. I'm looking for something that will prevent scripts from escaping their directories and affecting other folders.

thanks.

Than you should ask in a forum for your scripting language. if you code your self, you can prevent that by coding. If others code there are different solutions.
e.g. For PHP you can set open_basedir in php.ini

Sorry about any rudeness. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to do this. I decided to ask here because I was not looking for a language specific directive but one that would control all scripts running through apache.

Thank you for your time,
Delirium

I will note in the future that bump is an offensive thing.
