This page isn't a good idea, this method has problems

http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_RPM#Webserver_templates

>> note this causes side effects, another method is needed

the side effects, were odd things happening to the primary domain, which was difficult to define


a better method may be to create a whole new VirtualHost section, copy an existing section and see what needs to be changed.


<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
   ServerName NewDomain.net
   DocumentRoot         /opt/thingy/html

server-manager issue

My test showed that it disables server-manager (minor side effect), at least from the standpoint of following it to a tee, so its not valid solution as of this point in time, from the tests here. So it's possible that folks might invoke this and not know server-manager is effected. Might be why some post the usual "Can't access server-manager" in the forum. BTW it also effects server-manager at the console, with no way to access server-manager, the only way to regain server-manager at that point was to delete the template and restart. Although it's on the right track it needs a better method as was stated.
