Another idea to please multiple instances of the same application on the server is to do the following: - symlink vhost dir to the app www dir - create a vhost-dirname-$appname-config.php file in the parent dir of the vhost, i.e. /home/user/www/example.org-semanticscuttle-config.php for /home/user/www/example.org/ that symlinks to /usr/share/pear/www/semanticscuttle/ Now the application checks if that file exists and loads it as config file. That way, one user may have multiple instances of the same software running. The only open problem is database upgrades through pear, because virtually unlimited instances of the application database may be running on the server. No way for PEAR to know about some or all of them. -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=-
