home web server

[cyber_drifter]

I have Fedora 7 on my computer and have just setup a home web server. Do you give apache full permission on the public_html side, or  does root still have permission? Thanks for any help.

well u allways give all thing for web to user www-data and group www-data so it only can access certain things u never give apache root access then u gonna be in deep dodo if u give that server internet access, and yes root allways have access to everything in all cases

Thanks Sphinx

Yes the directory structure is /var/www/html. I've given apache full permission of html and directories below it, but root as full permission of /var/www/, and the rest of the computer.
I've just set up the server for learning reasons really. My upload bandwidth is only 400kb, so i'm not sure if that is anywhere near enough for it to work as a prober server. All good fun though
