Is this a dedicated server or virtural server where you control the works or some form of shared hosting?
I changed my Apacche Ubuntu 6.06 LTS setup from var/www to something off a web branch on a user directory a long while back, but I'm using a dedicated server (for me its an old box I occasionally use locally... just for development and testing).

Linux: Ubuntu Dapper
php5
mysql
apache2
drupal-5.3
I have been having permission issues with regard to drupal and the use of my apache server.
I have no problem creating a data base for drupal. I've used CLI, MySQL Administrator, PHPmyadmin and webmin to create the drupal database with all permissions for user. No problem creating or dropping the database.
If I drop the drupal files into my public_html folder I loose access to that server via the firefox browser when seeking any URL on http://localhost/~user/*.
I'd prefer not to use var/www for server purposes. When I do the drupal install.php gives me an ok for user and password but not access to the database.
Make sense to anyone ;) ?
Any help is appreciated
