Proposal for ns7 VirtualHost page

In the end, filesystem permissions and HTTP authentication are still controlled by the Shared folders page.

I agree with your proposal. I have some concerns about keeping the HTTP authentication on Shared Folders panel, what about remove it totally? Using “Shared Folders” just for configure samba. People frequently confuse the multipurpose aspect of shared folders, I’d like to simplify this part.

In my mind:

• Shared folders = fileserver
• VirtualHost = WebServer

@davidep

When an item of Virtual hosts is modified, the interface allows selecting the shared folders that it serves. Each shared folder can be mounted with an alias or selected as the web root of the virtual host. To persist this relation I propose to add a prop to self records in hosts DB.

I like to preserve this part but it would be completly configured by the Virtual Hosts panel. Just to be clear, I’d like to remove this tab moving it on the VH panel:

Finally, stuff like these should be included into the new Virtual Host page:

Any thoughts? @JOduMonT @Technet @stephdl @Hunv @fasttech @ctek @GG_jr @Nas @eliezer.axiem
