Re: [Debian-sf-users] DNS Configuration for debian-sf

[Christian Bayle]

If you look carefully at cabalistic signs in sf-httpd.conf you will see this
Which means that there is an alias of projects page at /www/<projectname>
If you want to change behaviour at project creation change the default 
url that is created in Group.class/function create
replace the second '$unix_name.".$GLOBALS['sys_default_domain']."', with 
$GLOBALS['sys_default_domain'].'/www/'.$unix_name.'/' or something 
similar should work
Maybe I will implement this or if you do it send a patch :)
Would be great a default (why not wiki) web site on demand ...

 # Debian Sourceforge without the DNS delegation
 # Project home pages are in a virtual /www/<group> location
 AliasMatch ^/www/([^/]*)/(.*) 
/var/lib/sourceforge/chroot/home/groups/$1/htdocs/$2
 ScriptAliasMatch ^/([^/]*)/cgi-bin/(.*) 
/var/lib/sourceforge/chroot/home/groups/$1/cgi-bin/$2
 <Directory /var/lib/sourceforge/chroot/home/groups>
   Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
     AllowOverride All
     order allow,deny
     allow from all
   </Directory>
