User and Share setup

[andrewgerm]

Good day all

Very new to Zentyal

I've spent several days searching for the best solutions here, but I'm likely not searching with the correct terms, as I am not finding much of help.

Having a bit of a time setting up a share for a directory in order to access those files from the network for web development. From what I've read, I can't share the /var/www directory so need to put the files elsewhere. The user directory on the server is encrypted, but there is a samba directory under home, so is it best to put the files in there?

I was able to share this directory from the Zentyal interface, but can not access it. My guess is that it is because the user that I login as via SSH is not a user that appears under the Zentyal users module. How do I sync these, or what is the best way to share this directory?

I see others have their users in LDAP? Is this better.

Once the users are setup, I will then need to setup Apache to access these directories so that the sites can then be viewed.

Any pointers or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
