I'm running W2K with Apache and PHP4. I'm going to be hosting a number of websites that I would like to provide PHP support for. What I don't want is them to be able to access my entire file system. They should, at most, be only allowed read/write access to their site folder. How do I go about doing this? I've looked around, but I haven't found something that addresses this. I know there's the basedir value (I think that's it), but I don't understand how to use it. Could somebody (several people) please post any tips they have for securing the file system of a web server. Thanks!
