The following entries are within the Changelog so it looks like what I am trying to do is now invalid? Can anyone suggest an alternative way to achieve the same result of a single code base with multiple contexts?
Change Logs:- Make context deployment error message for fixDocBase() more meaningful. (markt) 38570: When checking docBase against appBase, make sure we check for an exact match against the appBase. (markt) 39013: When testing for invalid docBase, test for an exact match with the appBase dir. (markt) 42678: Only ignore docBase if it really is a subdir of appBase. Patch provided by juergen.
