Can I ask how is it possible that this snippet:
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
Alias /phpldapadmin /usr/share/phpldapadmin/htdocs
</IfModule>
can replace your website with a phpLDAPadmin installation? It seems to be
impossible, as it should only "mount" the software under /phpldapadmin.

I'll have a look at the relevant documentation, but after a long e-mail as
yours I would think that you have good reasons to insist on this issue. :)

This has just a endeavour: phpldapadmin won't be accessible and enabled by
default, and the system administrator will have to manually run a2ensite in
order to enable the alias directive in his configuration.

Thanks for your kind email,
