Hi,
I just tried out webapp-config and now I think it would be a really nice feature if you could enter a root directory on your file system wich is NOT specified through the host switch.

Example:
My website is at /srv/www/website and I want to have /srv/www/website/phpmyadmin then I neither can do smth like

webapp-config -I -h website -d phpmyadmin

because the phpmyadmin will link itself to www.website.com, no I can do smth like

webapp-config -I -h www.mydomain.com -d website/phpmyadmin

with the $host disabled in the /etc/vhosts/webapp-config because then phpmyadmin will link to www.mydomain.com/website/phpmyadmin.
The best way would be smth like

webapp-config -I -h www.mydomain.com -R /srv/www/website -d phpmyadmin

What do you think about this new feature?

Greetings Knut

I haven't really thought about that sorry... you just need a new flag wich defines a file system name for you vhost of course. Smth like

ebapp-config -I -h www.mydomain.com --short-name website -d phpmyadmin

would be enough. Then you'll need a new variable in /etc/vhosts/webapp-config so that you could do smth like

vhost_root="/srv/www/${vhost_short_hostname}/"

greetings
