From the man page when concerned with the -d switch: "The webapp-config tool allows you to create a virtual copy anywhere you want. You are no longer limited to installing a web-based app in /home/httpd/htdocs/<package-name>/! Simply use the -d switch to tell webapp-config where you want to create your virtual copy." This is misleading, it still places the webapp unter /var/www, so different places for installing webapps are not supported (some of my users want to have a webapp in their /home/*/public_html directory). From the -d switch manual it sounds that I can really place the webapp "anywhere". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: for example with twiki, placing it into /home/lgnh/public_html/ 1. webapp-config -I -h www.lgnh.yfu.de -d /home/lgnh/public_html/ twiki 4.2.0 Actual Results: The twiki installation is placed into /var/www/www.lgnh.yfu.de/htdocs/home/lgnh/public_html Expected Results: I would have expected the twiki installation be found unter /home/lgnh/public_html
I just found out that there is a config file in which I can specify the path.
Taking out the "/var/www" from the config file didn't solve the problem as I thought.
The files are always installed under vhost_root="/you/choose/pasth${vhost_hostname}" which is set in /etc/vhosts/webapp-config. Its documented in man 5 webapp-config. I'll think about updating man 8 webapp-config to alert the reader to this option.
