You can make 3 predefined directories for each customer that they can't delete. One htdocs, logs, and "stuff" or something, for them to put all the non web accessible stuff in. Another thing you can do is create a wrapper script for the Apache startup that checks for the existence of all the esse

Actually this is a very common problem. Either mysql doesn't know about a user called "debian-sys-maint" or it doesn't have localhost permission. Mysql has it's own user db independant of the system. You'll need to go into mysql command prompt as root and do a GRANT to create debian-sys-maint and
