Excellent. Anyone else feel like hacking webapps at all? How well covered |
| 7 |
are we for supporting mod_perl and mod_python based apps right now? |

Good. You've got a lot of first-hand experience that I think's important to |
| 13 |
ensuring that what we put in really hits the mark. |

Good point. We'd need to test each webapp to make sure that it doesn't expect |
| 22 |
to at a hard-coded place relative to the docroot. Some webapps, for example, |
| 23 |
are hard coded to expect to be at the url http://<vhost>/, and break badly if |
| 24 |
they're (say) placed at http://<vhost>/people/stu/. |

Maybe it's off-topic, but you'll probably have an answer that I don't. On my |
| 31 |
boxes, I always use Apache's dynamic vhost support. Are there times/reasons |
| 32 |
when dynamic vhost support isn't the way to go? |
