My note on creating a user

To avoid wasting time and reinventing the wheel every time I created a new user on my server, I think I have to record the steps so I can save my time

Here are the steps:

1. adduser username

2. edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf

3. create a new file, /etc/httpd/conf/extra/user-username.conf

4. Use :%s/oldstring/newstring/g to edit the file above

5. service httpd restart

6. Set quota for the user

If the user needs MySQL, need the following steps also:

1. mysql -u admin-name -p

2. create database;

3. grant all privileges on database.* to username@localhost identified by 'password';

That's it.
