Do I understand you correctly that you choose to not touch the Apache setup, because some templating environment local to you is difficult to customize, and this choice is your reason for wanting a symlink added? Do your templating configuration ignore Apache config snippets added below /etc/apache/conf.d/ ? I am still not convinced that your custom needs are sane to apply generally for Debian. Please do try to convince me. Perhaps elaborating on the details of your templating system might help... - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmphcQACgkQn7DbMsAkQLhcqACfVjzxBYwDkWlzhUa5qY9C/tUt yGEAoIapmMB8F+l3WlhQ8top7VnCiwtL =dmNm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
