#9 Re: Question: apache and ftp config best practise? Posted by matej (158.193.xx.xx) on Sat 1 Oct 2005 at 11:13 Look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html and read it. then pick few ftp servers, such as vsftpd or proftpd already suggested and read its docs, make your choice. this is enough to understand and pick best layout for docroots and homedirs. then, you'd look carefuly at libnss-mysql-bg and libpam-mysql, install them on some test machine and experiment with setup. I don't recomend ldap, I used open-ldap in several similar projects (~500k users) and it was not enough stable & flexible for us. for 1k users, mysql is far the best even on white boxes. however, I guess you'd have to make your mail servers compatible with this auth scheme (or vice versa).
