Group accounts are necessary when a number of users need access to the same set of files, for example, a society webpage. All of the users who wish to edit these files MUST be tardis account holders.

same as user webspace, with obvious changes
Adding a vhost
There are two ways to add vhosts. One for fussy people and one for lazy people.
The lazy option is to simply add the appropriate CNAME for www in DNS. Then requests aimed at http://www.foo.tardis.ed.ac.uk/ are proxied to http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~foo/
Fussy people (with scripts that care that the user's seeing the same url the script thinks they're seeing) need the above done, as well as:
- An entry in davros:/etc/apache/vhosts/foo . Have a poke around at others in there to look for one that's close to what you want, the etv one looks fairly minimal. Oh, and remember to use rcs!
- Directories and things in /tardis/www/vhosts/foo/ . Use the same structure here as for single users.
