is it script-able, from the shell view? I guess yes. At this time, we make
scripts for Rewrite-rules in apache and pcgi... this works fine... til

the process is only restarted when the pcgi process kills itself, not for

I will look forward your proposition.

I created the rewrite rules... and the VirtualHostFolder... I am a little
stuck with the error:
