For example, a file saved as:
/home/sites/<sitename>/web/testdir/test.html
is accessed through the URL:
http:/</sitename>/testdir/test.html
Note: <Sitename> refers to the hostname.domainname of the
corresponding virtual site.
Site user home page
When a user on the main site is created through the Web-based
administration screens, 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 Web-based
administration screens, 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 http://www.umr.edu/~cgiwrap/
