Hi,
we need some agreements about the use of autoconf's variables to allow
fixing the hardwired paths. Actually we have the following variables:
* ca
* ca-htdocs
* ca-cgi
* raserver
* raserver-htdocs
* raserver-cgi
* public-htdocs
* public-cgi
We need the following for the fixing:
* the htdocs-root and the path to the directory where the pages are
stored
* the cgi-root and the path to the directory where the scripts are
stored
So we must change the complete installation because for example
ca-htdocs consists of ca's htdocs-path and the path to the directory
where the ca's stuff is placed, e.g
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/xyz-pki/ca/
ca-htdocs would be /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/xyz-pki/ca/ but this is only
good for the installation but we must replace in the scripts a string
@ca-htdocs@ with /xyz-pki/ca/. So we need some new variables.
I would recommend:
ca-htdocs (/usr/local/httpd/htdocs)
ca-htdocs-path (/xyz-pki/ca)
This looks like a good design and it is relatively easy to fix the
actual installation routine because we must only search the @ca-htdocs@
etc. and add @ca-htdocs-path@. The problem is that the names are not
very good to distinguish from each other. So any ideas for a better name
than ca-htdocs-path?
What do you think about the concept?
Michael
