9 OK, here is one. It seems that webapp-config silently assumes your
10 webserver is apache by default. If a user uses lighttpd for example,
11 this is totally incorrect.
12
13 Now, this doesn't cause webapp-config to fail to emerge, but the first
14 time you emerge any webapp, you get a big nasty error about no Apache
15 group available, which further requires the end user to dig around the
16 webapp-config manpage to figure out the correct file to edit *just* to
17 get a silly php script to install in the correct location.
18
19 And please, don't tell me this is a feature. It breaks noninteractivity
20 for every "webapp" in the entire tree.
