virtual hosting and user accounts

[xenolith]

Have a quick question. I soon will be replacing a personal users web page server at our office. Currently we do not support virtual domains or anything but a pretty standard setup. I will need to support virtual domains and user space for different accounts inside that. Basically, I think what it comes down to most is I will have

http://www.company1.com/~user1

and

http://www.company2.com/~user1

existing on the same box? How can I make this possible so users can update their web space themselves?

Thanks,
Josh

Do you want the users' websites to be accessible from both domains? //Daniel

Nope, user1 is will be different for each company. Basically so I can have

http://www.company1.com/~chris

and

http://www.company2.com/~chris

where chris is a user at each company, but not the same user.

Oh ok. If you are working on a *nix box, you would need different usernames, since Apache looks in the /home directory for each user. //Daniel

There may be an easier way but I would put the UserDir directive and container inside both vhost containers.
