I've got Ubuntu 10.04 on my home machine and have apt-got LAMP. /var/www is the standard web directory. So I'd like to set up Wordpress blog software here at home, but I don't want to do it with admin (/var/www is root root). My sys-admin skills (what little I ever had to begin with) have totally rusted out, so I'm asking if creating /home/myhomedir/blog and then doing a symbolic link: ln -s /home/myhomedir/blog blog in /var/www/ was the right thing to do. The link has lrwxrwxrwx root root. Although I'm on dynamic IP assign through my Internet provider (Qwest), It seems like anyone who had my IP address could see or get at /home/myhomedir/blog from http://myIPaddress/blog Is this in fact the case? Should I change my permissions on the link (world to r-x), or is this a firewall issue? Larry BottorffGrand Marais, MN
