This issue always bothered me. Why do we need exclusive web-app config |
| 20 |
application that effectively mirrors what emerge is supposed to do? |
| 21 |
I mean installation/removal/updates, and what's the most important config |
| 22 |
updates. |
| 23 |
I see this solution suboptimal. |
| 24 |
Don't bash me, maybe I'm obviously missing something but I'd really prefer |
| 25 |
simpler, Debian-like approach to webapps, so: |
| 26 |
- web-apps installed in /usr/share instead of /var/www (is there any benefit |
| 27 |
from polluting /var/www with system-managed applications?) |
| 28 |
- webapp-specific apache config installed in let's say /etc/apache2/conf.d/ |
| 29 |
and included from httpd.conf so that any application works out of the box |
| 30 |
(Alias directive may be suitable in example below) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
(example entry for phppgadmin:) |
| 33 |
<Directory /usr/share/phppgadmin/> |
| 34 |
DirectoryIndex index.php |
| 35 |
Options +FollowSymLinks |
| 36 |
AllowOverride None |
| 37 |
Order deny,allow |
| 38 |
Allow from all |
| 39 |
<IfModule mod_php5.c> |
| 40 |
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off |
| 41 |
php_flag track_vars On |
| 42 |
php_value include_path . |
| 43 |
</IfModule> |
| 44 |
</Directory> |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
That file (apache config) as well as wep-app specific config file |
| 47 |
(/usr/share/phppgadmin/conf/config.inc.php) would be under config-protect, so |
| 48 |
any modifications are tracked. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
It's obviously less flexible than webapp-config (no automatic vhosts handling |
| 51 |
- it would be installed initially for all vhosts, sure, one can easily |
| 52 |
configure that), but at least doesn't need webapp-config anymore. |
