No, this would make the file system on my server an even worse spaghetti mess than when I move the files physically under one root. I want to leave everything as distributed as possible.

Cheers, Rich, Steve and all,

How about just symlink in the file system?

    How about a shapepath at the layer level? I am combining 20 years
    of working with old maps in three (or four :-)) different
    countries (Netherlands, Germany and Flemish and Walloon Belgium),
    all in their own formats, projections, directories an servers. It
    would help to keep my applications (and my mind) clear if I could
    use the appropriate shapepaths. And as to portability, it is
    essential to use relative paths. Just try to move a website to a
    new server with a differently named filesystem, if all paths are
    hard coded.

    It won’t work. A configuration is loaded in entirety first, and
    then applied as necessary.
