#!/bin/sh

dirbase="/var/www/"
cd $dirbase

read -p "Enter project path: $dirbase" ddir
read -p "Enter Port (default:8080):" pport

pport=${pport:-8080}
ddir=${ddir:-''}

dirpath=$dirbase$ddir

if [ ! -e $dirpath ]; then
        mkdir $dirpath
elif [ ! -d $dirpath ]; then
        echo "$dirpath already exists but is not a directory"
        exit
