*** There are no symbolic links whatsover. They are
actual files and directories that were installed when
I created the domain using the Control Panel on that
server.
I can tell you more though as I am discovering a few things
while studying the server directories from root and checking out the
forums for that control panel that I was provided with.
When I create a domain called "domain.com" with username "username"
from the control panel from root that directory is accesible at
/home/virtual/domain.com/ (This is the base directory for the domain)
At the user account level for that domain, it's home is
/home/username (It cannot see /home/virtual/domain.com, only root
can).
Now root Perl repository is located at
/usr/bin/perl
The domain.com repository is located at
/home/virtual/domain.com/usr/bin/perl
The contents of "/home/virtual/domain.com/usr/bin/perl"
are not symbolic links to the main /usr/bin/perl .
This will not work anyway as user accounts cannot
and should not see anything below it. Right ??
So the control panel is somehow copying all the Perl
repository to that new domain account. Now the Perl
repository that it's copying/installing when the domain is created
cannot be coming from the main /usr/bin/perl, as
dates are different and some modules are not
there at the user account level.
I don't know where it's getting these Perl packages
that it's installing.
So when I install new CPAN modules as root, they are installed
under the main /usr/bin/perl and not
/home/virtual/domain.com/usr/bin/perl
So that would probably explain why the user account
cannot see the new modules.
Now what I would like to know is this, if I manually
kill all the contents of Perl for the domain.com, like
this (from root)
rm -Rf /home/virtual/domain.com/usr/bin/perl
and then do this (still as root)
cp -r /usr/bin/perl /home/virtual/domain.com/usr/bin/
Will this install Perl properly for the user account, or
it just won't work ?
This should transfer all the modules and new ones to
that domain.
The only issue with this is as I install new CPAN modules
as root they will not be seen at the user accounts.
Then I probably need an additional step when CPAN install is
complete. Have a script that somewhow will copy all these new
modules to the Perl repositories of all the user accounts
on this server.
Any ideas on how I can do this ?
Or is there a way to have user accounts perl repositories
be somehow automatically linked to the main /usr/bin/perl ?
I don't if I'm making any sense here. But hey I'm just
learning all this now.
