Title: WordPress – cloud server Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # WordPress – cloud server * [unplugme71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unplugme71/) * (@unplugme71) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-cloud-server/) * I want to install WordPress on my cloud server. So far I have a Debian 6 server running MySQL with all the updates. I didn’t install Apache2.2 or PHP5 yet because this is where I’m stuck. * I plan to run virtual hosts on my server. There are 2 other users (friends) that want to share the same server. Each user will have their home directory as /home/ USERNAME/ and their web directory as /home/USERNAME/www/ * My question comes down to user and group permissions. Apache will run as myapache. Do I add each user to that group? Or will that become a security issue? When I read other forums, they said to do that and thus allowing you to chmod using 750 or 740 (not giving ‘EVERYONE’ any access at all. However, if a user is a member of the apache group, can’t users within the server peak at files? * How do you guys manage virtual hosts/users? * Also, what other software would you recommend installing on the server. Right now I have rkhunter and clamav.
