Permissions & File Structure w/ nginx & multiple sites
- by Michael
I am using nginx for the first time as a long time Apache user. I setup a Linode to test everything and to eventually port over my websites.
Previously I had /home/user/www (wwwroot)
I am looking at doing something similar with /srv/www/domain/www (wwwroot)
Rather than using /srv/domain (wwwroot), the reason is many of the sites are WordPress and one of the things I do for security is to move the config file one level above wwwroot and can't have multiple configuration files from multiple domains in the same top level folder.
Since I own all the sites, I wasn't going to create a user for each domain. My user is a member of www-data and was going to use 2770 for www and have domain/www for each new domain. www would be owned by group www-data.
Is this the best way to handle this?
