I hadn't until now, but it looks interesting. Not quite what
I had in mind though.

mod_macro has been a godsend for me.  I was about thisclose to writing
something to generate my http.conf for me.

virtual host "server root"

[Rick Myers]

I'm trying to create a "root" directory for each of my
virtuals. The reason is that there's plenty of stuff within
the realm of the virtual that certainly shouldn't be within
the document root -- templates, cache, logs, etc. Plus, I
might want to point a virtual into a user dir somewhere.

I've come up with three solutions, none of which I
particularly like for various reasons.

- PerlSetVar VRoot /someplace
Simple, but I've always had a distaste for
PerlSetVar for some reason. *shrug*

- VRoot /someplace
Not as simple. Requires yet another module to
implement and adds even more overhead to the server
conf file.

- ServerPath /someplace
Pretty simple Server.xs hack, but probably never
supported. Also might open up security holes.

Is anybody else doing this sort of thing?
