[Technic] Apache

[Ricky Nance]

I think there are a few ways to get where your going.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/public_html.html if you use this it
will give you http://site.com/~teacher (actually you can set it up to use
site.com/homework_hotline/teacher if you'd like) or you can make a samba share
 that works like the samba home share and only that teacher could see their
directory (path = /webdir/%U in your share directive) then tell apache to list
the directories in /webdir (there is an option somewhere for that look on
their site) or you can symlink ln -sf /home/teacher/webdir /webdir/teachername
for each teacher (I would avoid this if I could). If you need help going
further in any of these email me back.
