Why one over the other? I have been using SiteRoot and AccessRules for years (literally since you wrote it). What does VHM get me that those two do not?
If you're an experienced and competent user of SiteRoots, there's probably not an especially compelling reason to switch. I personally like the fact that I only need one VHM, plus a very straightforward Apache config pattern. AccessRules don't have a replacement, and I continue to use them for various tasks. Again and again, however, people trying to use SiteRoots for the first time panic when they appear to have locked themselves out of the ZMI. Just about as frequently, I see posts from folks who think they have successfully set up virtual hosting, but their paths are screwed up because they didn't understand the proper use of Base and Path. No amount of documentation seems to stem the tide of wounded feet ;-) Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
