hey folks, guess i've had a productive weekend :) i got at least the rough workings of the last big feature i wanted to see before unleashing this package on the unsuspecting populace -- namely dbconfig-common support for multi-instance apps. so now it should be possible to set up a webapp (assuming the webapp can support it) for multiple vhost subdir combinations, each with its own database/user setup. it's still a little rough around the edges. namely: - there's no way yet to generate per-instance *configs* for the databases, eheh.. - you're forced to enter the admin password for each instance - removal/purging might not yet work without an unreleased dbconfig-common version - the "put 100 instances in this config file and dpkg-reconfigure to install for all of them" feature doesn't yet work for the db stuff (well it does interactively, but the batch management doesn't) for those interested, take a look at the webapp-apache-dbapp-example package in ./examples. oh, i still haven't addressed the apache vhost issue, i'll see about getting to that sometime this week, and after that i'll fire away something at experimental. sean
