I think it would be best to have a wiki page that lists the problems you are trying to solve and also possible pitfalls that have to be taken into account. Then it is easier to check if a proposed solution would solve the problems while not breaking anything else. One of the pitfalls is apache2-suexec. It has the document root compiled in and doesn't allow more than one document root. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
