Python/Django/etc based web applications support multiple sites quite well, usually you have to setup a directory where all the data is kept before actually using the app. This is usually part of an admin tool installed in $PATH. It seems that mainly PHP apps have an issue with this. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
