Please help this novice understand how that's different from what I'm
doing. the httpd.conf points, in the above example, to
/apache/vhosts/myClient
for the account
myClient.com
Isn't this the same thing you're talking about? Also, how do I enable the
client to access his site via ftp? I've chown-ed the myClient folder to his
ownership, same name as his sendmail name: shouldn't it be accessible via
his sendmail password? What am I missing here (obviously something, because
this is what I've done)? Thank you for your help!
