EasyApache Config - RUID2 symlink to share CMS core with Vhosts

I am setting up a CentOS 6 cPanel server to service a number of vhosts that will all use the same core CMS. I want to put a single instance of the CMS files into the /home directory so that I can update that in one place and automatically update all client sites. The directory structure would be /home /CoreCMS.2.x /CoreCMS.3.x /MostRecentCMS symlink => CoreCMS Most Recent /VHost1 /public_html /CMS symlink => /home/MostRecentCMS /index.php symlink => CMS/index.php All files 644, directories 755 /VHost2 ... Is there a way to configure EasyApache with mod_ruid2 to permit symlinking multiple accounts to the core software without using 666/777 permissions? Thank you

  Hello :) It's likely a better idea to develop a script that updates each account individually with the updated files from your content management system. Linking all accounts to a shared directory is considered a security risk. Thank you.

  Thank you, Michael. The issue I and others face is that of we have 50 sites or more with duplicate 80MB core software, we are putting out of commission 4GB of disk space... That said, I do have a working system set up, though without mod_ruid2. In EasyApache it has: Version: PHP5 PHP 5 Handler: fcgi Apache suEXEC: On Directory Options: ExecCGI enabled FollowSymLinks enabled Includes off IncludesNOEXEC enabled Indexes off Multiviews off SymLinksIfOwnerMatch off Thank you

  Thank you for reporting the existing configuration you have in-place that allows you to implement that type of configuration. Note that it's not likely to work for Mod_Ruid2 without unsupported customization that reduce the security of your system. Thank you.
