Site user home page
When a user on the main site is created through the browser-based UI, the home
directory for that site user is created in:
/home/sites/home/users/username/web
The content of their Web pages can be viewed at
http://<IP address>/users/<username>/ or http://<IP address>/~ <username>/.
When users on a virtual site are created using the browser-based UI, the user's
home directory is:
/home/sites/<sitename>/users/<username>
The users default Web page is:
/home/sites/<sitename>/users/<username>/web
The content of their Web pages can be viewed at
http://<sitename>/~<username>/.
Common gateway interface (CGI) usage for
users
You can save CGI files in any directory on your site, provided that CGI is
enabled, the CGI file is executable and the file ends with a .pl or .cgi extension.
The Web server is configured to execute CGI scripts using a wrapper program
(cgiwrap), which preserves the permissions set for the executing script. For more
information regarding this security precaution, refer to
