I've asked a few people who have relations to Webmin for some help but they have not responded... if you read this please consider what I have to say.

Hi,

I was givin the task to setup a system at my school to allow students to sign up to a program, and then develop a website... having that website being allowed to be viewed on our network.

I found webmin and usermin and thought that I had the solution and I think there may be a way to get it to work (in the file manager students can just create a new file and then instert the html, though some kind of script to allow them to make a website like geocities or freewebs.com would be very NICE!)

I need help allowing users' files to be view in such a format as:
http://216.186.36.50:20000/username/file.html

I'm not sure HOW to allow this though.

Also if anyone knows of any scripts that I can use for free (I'm doing this for free) that would allow users to make a site on the server (It's running a version of linux redhat that I installed) that would be awesome!

Finally.. is there anyway to allow people to sign up for an account? So that I do not have to set up every single user...

Thanks!

It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.

Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.

But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.
