I was reading bug reports this morning, and wondered if someone could
take a look at the patch offered here:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26052#c19
It adds a SetVirtualDocumentRoot configuration directive to
mod_vhost_alias, making numerous third-party applications behave
sanely when run under mod_vhost_alias.
I've read the various justifications why we don't do this, and quite
frankly I don't understand them. Is there a legitimate reason that
setting DOCUMENT_ROOT on a per-dynamic-vhost basis is any different/
worse than setting it on a per-regular-vhost basis? I don't understand
the distinction, other than "we've never done it that way."
Thanks.
