How to authnticate and use contents from ${HOME}

Hello,

My name ich Chantale, I am 15years old and in a german Lycee. I like to stu=
dy Informatic in two years and now try to code my first applications. I am =
new to php and like to code my own Intranet Web-Interface which should run =
on my FileServer at home.

I have installed suPHP, but it seems to be not the thing I need, because it=
works only on a VHost.

What I need is, that a ${USER} can login and work on her/his ${HOME}.

How can I archive this?

Thank you
Chantale

Try xamp or one of the preconfigured packages

Hi Chantale, as Bastien mentioned, a preconfigured package might be the best
way to go. Wikipedia has more information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LAMP_Packages

What are you wanting to build in your interface?

Installing LAMP is not a good idea for productive servers. Always stick with
the Packages of your distribution to get all upgrades.
Activating a module isn't hard at all, so... there's not really a need for
packages like "LAMP" on a unix-like OS.
The point in not using such Packages like LAMP on a system which isn't
productive is learning to set up a productive server. You decide.

mod_auth_pam might be a way fo accomplish what you want.

Just my two cent.

Re: Re: How to authnticate and use contents from ${HOME}

PHP may not be the thing to do this.. because it sounds like you want
the users to chroot to ${HOME} which php especially on a vhost does not do.


If you want users to access an nfs or ftp I would use either samba or
vsftp or some other scp/ftp software.

Re: Re: How to authnticate and use contents from ${HOME}

What is xamp?

I have my own webinterface and need only to authenticate
the loginuser to let him/her work on the ${HOME}

Thanks

Re: Re: How to authnticate and use contents from ${HOME}

Hello Isaac,

> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LAMP_Packages

I am not interested in LDAP and MySQL stuff.
This is overkill for my Intranet Server.

> What are you wanting to build in your interface?

And as I have written, I am learning PHP-Coding.
So ready-to-use-stuff where no one know how it works is no option.

I have installed "php5-auth-pam" and it works already, speak,
I get the correct ExitStatus if one try to authenticate.

But this works only (in conjunction with suPHP) if the script run as
"root" which should not be.

Greetings

XAMPP is a preconfigured package for using apache, mysql, php/perl/python on
any platform like linux, mac OS or Windows. Look at www.apachefriends.de

Hmmm, I have installed "php5-auth-pam" but it give only an ExitStatus.

So if my script run as "root" :-/ I can check, whether "php5-auth-pam"
say it is OK and then I can act on...

But is there another option as running the script as root?

It is not a VHost. It is a full blown machine.

with apache2, php5, libapache2-mod-suphp, courier-imap/mta

No offense toward the poster of this information, but this is
probably the most ludicrous advice I've seen given in quite some time.

I advise against following it --- not necessarily against using
your distribution's packages, but certainly against *only* using them.
It's a very bad, very useless idea.

This really seems like you would be best off doing this with a simple SSH
connection. I see you use Linux, so that makes things easier. You can
manipulate files as if they were in your local file system with KDE IO slaves
(assuming you use the KDE window manager of course). This pretty much lets
you do what you want. You can even run program on the remote machine with
the -X parameter of the ssh command.

No, only FVWM. :-) KDE/GNOME would kill my machine.

SInce I have no Laptop and do not like to take it with me all the time,
my Webinterface must be accessibel from everywhere in the world.

Have you looked at other online solutions for this? For someone who is just
learning PHP, you could potentially be opening yourself up to all sorts of
hacking by doing what you want to here.

Afaik, you won't be able to do this easily with PHP. What sort of files were
you thinking of being able to edit anyway?

I have to learn how to make it secure... ;-)

I am trying to code a whole intranet Interface from Web-Mail to
Online-Filemanager, Callendar and more.

> you thinking of being able to edit anyway?

I do not have to edit anything...

I need only to access the private Diskspace for upload/download files,
creating/removing subdirectories and give permissions WHO can get
stuff from it

If I use suPHP and use root, it works as expected but I think, if someone
authenticate the session must be SUID to that user.

Note: The Web-accesibel folder is NOT ${HOME} but a subdirectory
and the webinterface can not break out... because I have already
secured it. (No ../../ or such will work)
