I often find I need to quickly share files with the general public or selected friends. As such I have setup Online Shares with Apache. Continuing our example I will put put a public and private share on krypton as follows,

www.krypton.com/shared/ - accessible by everyone
www.krypton.com/shared.private/ - only accessible by specific people

Also if possible, this setup should allow the website admins to do the setup without the need for the server admin to come in and perform root actions.

Assuming you are logged in as a Staff User created in the Setup Ubuntu Linux Base Server,

Shared - Public Share Folder

cd /home/www.krypton.com
sudo mkdir shared # Browseable folder to drop content to share with others
sudo mkdir shared.private # Browser password protected folder to drop content to share with others via .htaccess
sudo mkdir keys # Place to store keys for protected folder

cd /home

sudo chown -R serveradmin:wgkryptonian ./www.krypton.com/shared/

sudo chmod -R 775 www.krypton.com/shared/ # Only svradm and users in the kryptonian group can manage. Apache(other's) still need to be able to read and browse.

Add to the website host file,

    Alias /shared/ "/home/www.krypton.com/shared"
    Alias /shared "/home/www.krypton.com/shared"
    <Directory /home/www.krypton.com/shared>
        /# Make this folder browseable
        Options +Indexes
    </Directory>

The final host file will look like this,

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    ServerName www.krypton.com
    ServerAlias www.krypton.com

    DocumentRoot /home/www.krypton.com/www

    # This restrictive a precedence for ALL directory blocks.
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        # This prevents use of .htaccess
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>

    # Main location of static content for the websites.
    <Directory /home/www.krypton.com/www/>
        Options +MultiViews
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Alias /shared/ "/home/www.krypton.com/shared"
    Alias /shared "/home/www.krypton.com/shared"
    <Directory /home/www.krypton.com/shared>
        # Make this folder browseable
        Options +Indexes
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/www.krypton.com.error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/www.krypton.com.access.log combined
