Edit User Doc Directories

Use this page (available on UNIX) to configure public information directories that let all the users on a virtual server create home pages and other documents without your intervention.

Until you set up these directories and click OK, the page displays the message "Public information directories are not currently active" at the top of the page. Once you have activated them, the message becomes "Public information directories are currently active. You can also deactivate them." Click the word "deactivate" in the message to deactivate them.

The following table describes the fields and buttons on the page. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.
