RE: [cobalt-users] httpd.conf problem

["JC Jones" <jcjones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When a user logs in to upload files, the initial location the user is
sent to is /users/(username)/

You need to instruct your users to backup in the tree to their / and
then go into the /web folder to upload files.

I also have a difficult time explaining this to some of my customers and
would like to come up with a work around, but have not yet discovered a
good way to do it.

-> Hello,
-> 
-> When we setup a site on a Cobalt server, it does not show 
-> the index.html loaded by the client at times, and instead it 
-> shows the Placeholder page put in by Cobalt.
-> 
-> On checking the path where we FTP'ed the files we found that 
-> the files were FTP'd into 
-> '/home/sites/site12/users/<username>/web, whereas the 
-> httpd.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf/ has Document Root as 
-> '/home/sites/site12/web'. On changing the Document Root to 
-> '/home/sites/site12/users/itcog/web', and restarting httpd, 
-> the site loaded by the client started displaying.
-> 
-> The part of the httpd.conf which we are referring to is 
-> shown below -->
-> 
-> <VirtualHost 216.109.76.9>
-> ServerName www.litco.org
-> ServerAlias litco.org
-> ServerAdmin site12

-> Why is Cobalt behaving like this ? What is the solution ?
