Thanks brabard, <br />
<br />
your comment gave me this idea that solved the problem...<br />
<br />
&lt;VirtualHost mydomian.com&gt;<br />
DefaultRoot /home/user1<br />
DefaultRoot /home/user2<br />
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

<VirtualHost mydomian.com>
DefaultRoot /home/user1
DefaultRoot /home/user2
</VirtualHost>

I thought this would be easy but I am having troubles making it happen. I had a single user chrooted like this:<br />
<br />
&lt;VirtualHost mydomian.com &gt;<br />
DefaultRoot /home/user1<br />
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;<br />
<br />
I now need to add a second user to the server that is also chrootred. I assumed you would just add another VirtualHost Like:<br />
<br />
&lt;VirtualHost mydomian.com &gt;<br />
DefaultRoot /home/user1<br />
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;<br />
<br />
&lt;VirtualHost mydomian.com &gt;<br />
DefaultRoot /home/user2<br />
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;<br />
<br />
This does not work right. If I ftp in as the first user I am taken to the first users chrooted folder. Now If I ftp in as the second user I am taken the first users folder. I have tried many combos of the above script but nothings works as I need it to. Does someone know how this is done?<br />
<br />
Thanks
