Ahh! That's ideal! Does someone out there set it up like that?
That's how we have it setup at CodeIt for our customers. Your going to need to get your ISP to change a few setting though. If they're using apache they'll need to compile in suexec support. Which we had to do a little mucking around in so that we could avoid having to setup a diferent wrapper script for each client. --------------------------------------------------- - Scott Robertson Phone: 714.972.2299 - - CodeIt Computing Fax: 714.972.2399 - - http://codeit.com - ---------------------------------------------------
