Re: [cobalt-users] Quick Question

Chad,
I have found with a raq that the best thing to do is stay out of the conf
files if possible. Some things can be added/changed without problem. For
example, changing DocumentRoot can have serious consequences. When you make
a change, it works as expected. But when you go back to the GUI to modify
something on the site, you could be in a world of hurt. I learned this
through personal experience.

The safest way would be to directly link to domain2 within domain1's html
code. Since this is to easy, I'll assume you already thought of this and
discarded the idea.

The second safe way would be to use a symbolic link which links directory1
to directory2. This would require a modification to the conf file or a
.htaccess file. You would need to modify/add code such as:

<Directory /home/sites/domain1/web/directory>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


Hope this helps,
Rich
