[TriLUG] TriLUG member web sites fixed

[Jeremy Portzer]

Good afternoon folks,

The member web sites should be fixed now.
I apologize for the delay in getting this fixed -- many of us have been 
without power for several days now, and have not had time to check email 
etc.

Here's the details if you're interested:

Yes, the problems did result from moving the www.trilug.org host to a new 
server.  We had forgotten two things:  1)  on Red Hat 7.x, Apache runs as 
"apache" instead of "nobody" -- and on the new server, "apache" couldn't 
get into most people's home directories.  I fixed this by making sure 
apache was a member of the group "trilug."  2)  since some people 
don't yet have accounts on the new server, mod_userdir was trying to do a 
password file lookup to find the homedirectory, which was failing.  I 
fixed this by changing UserDir to /home/trilug/*/public_html , which skips 
the password-file lookup.

Please let sys at trilug.org know if you have any further problems.
