I have a ubuntu box running apache and hosting 4 domains (websites) on it. Up till now I have been content to use Seamonkey wysiwyg editor to admin the pages but now I have a partner who wants to admin one of the domains remotely from his Win10 laptop. This has me in a bit of a tailspin trying to determine the best way to achieve this.
1) chown -R <webadmin>:<whatever group> <domain> to give him permissions to work in that directory tree and not any of the others.
2) I assume I should add some cms system. Wordpress is very popular but I know nothing about its use, capabilities, or configuration.
3) If I add cms functionality would he then have the ability to connect and edit via the web instead of having putty or some such on his puter?
Sorry for all the dumb questions but this has never come up here before and searching has run me in circles.
Thanks
Couple of thoughts based on a number of years of doing what you're talking about; running name based virtual hosts under Apache. I have 10 or so running right now running on a ridiculous quasi industrial grade machine. As a systems person, a CMS is your best buddy. It gets the content authors off your back. I'd almost marry wordpress but I suspect it's against the law in many jurisdictions. I have a friend who was doing hand edited HTML for his web site until I showed him wordpress. He found that he could do in an hour what took him a week to do by hand. The wordpress codex has what is called the 5 minute install. It really does take about that to get a blank site up and ready for content. You do have to set up a MySQL/MariaDB instance to support wordpress. For a single site, a distro packaged wordpress is OK and it "should" update itself to the latest WP. That doesn't really work well for name-based virtual hosts/websites though. Contact me off list if you'd like my recipe. I'd share it here, but suspect it would be boring for those not doing it. no matter what, you're going to need plugins to secure your shiny wordpress site. I use wordfence and stuff to limit brute force login limiters. Take your pick of limiters, but I don't know of a better application firewall for wordpress than wordfence. automatic backup plugins have saved me more than once there are many. Better ones let you backup off system, but you usually get to pay a bit for that functionality... Not all that much, but some take issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
