Eray's questions

I want to create a user for my Ubuntu server. I will use this user to copy some files from server to my local computer. So permissions should be really limited. This user can only reach to /some/path directory in the server and read files. Nothing more.

To achieve this, I've created a user:

sudo useradd scp_user -M -d /some/path
sudo groupadd scp_group
sudo usermod scp_user -g scp_group
sudo usermod scp_user -s /bin/false  # disable ssh login
sudo chown -R scp_user:scp_group /some/path

And in my ssh config file:

Match Group scp_group
    ChrootDirectory %h
    #ForceCommand scp 
    AllowTcpForwarding no

But getting an error:

scp scp_user@IP:/some/path/test.zip test.zip
scp_user@IP's password:
Could not chdir to home directory /some/path: No such file or directory
/bin/false: No such file or directory

Can you please tell me which step I'm missing?

I just migrate from Apache to Nginx and trying to set up rewrite rules. I have a virtual host and this is the structure of virtual host

/var/www/name-of-virtual-host/
├── wp1
│   ├── wp-admin
│   ├── wp-content
│   └── wp-includes
└── wp2
    ├── wp-admin
    ├── wp-content
    └── wp-includes

As you see I have 2 different WordPress installations in different folders. So I'm trying to create a rewrite rule to work with these 2 WPs.

This is my location definition:

        location / {
                try_files @missing $uri;
        }
        location @missing {
                rewrite ^/([a-z-])(/.*)$ /$1/index.php last;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini

                # With php5-cgi alone:
                #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                # With php5-fpm:
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

If URI is /wp1/permalink-of-post/ it should use /wp1/index.php and if /wp2/permalink-of-post/ it should use /wp2/index.php .

But I'm getting rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to error.

How can I write my rewrite rules to use with multiple WP installations ?

UPDATE 1

An example WordPress .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp1/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp1/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) server and i'm trying to install VHCS . I'm following this steps but on last steps of the Configuration Script title i'm executing vhcs2-setup . After last question (Please enter admininistrator email address) when i press ENTER i'm getting this error :

Use of uninitialized value $fgid in getgrnam at ./vhcs2-setup line 799, <STDIN> line 8.
Use of uninitialized value $cfg{"CMD_GROUPADD"} in concatenation (.) or string at ./vhcs2-setup line 803, <STDIN> line 8.
Use of uninitialized value $fgid in concatenation (.) or string at ./vhcs2-setup line 803, <STDIN> line 8.
ERROR: External command ' ' returned '255' status !

I'm googled it, but couldn't find anything.

I have an Ubuntu server and i have a SIM card (sorry for bad English) which has monthly 10,000 SMS .

Now i need to send SMSes on my project. Is it possible to use my mobile phone (Nokia 5800 and USB cable) and my SIM card for sending SMSes on my project ?

I'm developing it with PHP . And i have my own server so i can install everything.

I'm trying to rewrite my URL's subdomain.

http://username.domain.com will show content of http://www.domain.com/user.php?u=username but URL stay as http://username.domain.com . (I mean url masking)

(Username's can contain a-z 0-9 and hypens) Also if subdomain is www or api, don't redirect them

I'm using this for my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

(After @mfarver's advice) I'm trying this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

but this time getting 500 Internal Server error:

[Mon May 30 20:10:44 2011] [alert] [client 81.6.xx.xxx] /home/blablabla/public_html/.htaccess: AllowOverride not allowed here

(from error log)
