apache question

[vsreeser]

Maybe I am using the wrong search terms but I am finding no help for what I want to do.

Setting up a home Apache serer that I may hook up to ddns. If the host name is reeser.ddns.net (not set up so using this address will give an error), how would I set the server so that reeser.ddns.net/~raymond would go to his page? Not sure if this is a virtual host, sub-domain or something else entirely.

I have set up his user with a public_html folder. haven't set up ftp server yet. Not sure which is best.

what are you trying to do ,,,,,,,,if it just to give remote access to a box SSH is pretty simple and in Dolphins network folder you can add a remote SSH folder that will default to using SFTP for file transfers .

NFS is a bit more setup but when done is completely transparent ,,,,,,,,,thats to say that with SSH to view a remote file it must first be down loaded ,,,,,,with NFS it is a mounted file system and acts like a local folder.....

want reeser.ddns/net/raymond to go to /home/raymond/public_html
Right now it goes to /var/www/html/raymond

If you're just using the default Apache implementation, edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf and change the DocumentRoot directory to point to /home/raymond/public_html. Then restart Apache. A better approach in the longer term is to use a virtual host.

Make sure that directory has 755 privileges, and the files have 644. The "www-data" user that Apache runs as must be able to use that directory and the files therein.

Trying to run multiple pages. one family, one raymond, and possibly one for daughter. So, virtual hosts may be the best way to go. Recommend any help or good web pages with instructions?
