installation for multiple user access

Anon

Folks,
Just wonder how various sites implement installations of php/mysql that is shared among multiple users.

Say if you're an ISP. How would you go about providing this service such that one group's php scripts (i.e. scripts for database access) can be read by the server, but not other users.

You compile/configure apache with support for su exec and user directories. Then each user's scripts execute under the ownership of that person from their home directories.

If you're not sure how to do it, you might wanna get the apache book from OReilly, it's a great resource on apache 1.3.x

Thanks Scott,
I've been meaning to try this. I could see how it could work for php running as a cgi, I wasn't quite sure if it would work as an apache module.
