script to ease creating virtualhosts on ubuntu.

#================================================================================
# virtualhost
#
# A fancy little script to setup a new virtualhost in Ubuntu based upon the
# excellent virtualhost (V1.04) script by Patrick Gibson <patrick@patrickg.com> for OS X.
#
# This script has been tested on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) with Apache2(!) and
# probably works on Debian as well, but this has not been tested (yet). If you use
# this script on other Linux distributions and can confirm it to work I would like to hear
# from you. Just send an email to Bjorn Wijers <burobjorn@burobjorn.nl> with more info
#
# USAGE:
#
# CREATE A VIRTUAL HOST:
# sudo ./virtualhost <name>
# where <name> is the one-word name you'd like to use. (e.g. mysite)
#
# Note that if "virtualhost" is not in your PATH, you will have to write
# out the full path to where you've placed: eg. /usr/bin/virtualhost <name>
#
# REMOVE A VIRTUAL HOST:
# sudo ./virtualhost --delete <site>
#
# where <site> is the site name you used when you first created the host.
#
#
#======= SCRIPT VARIABLES ========
#
# By default, this script places files in /home/[you]/Projects. If you would like
# to change this, like to how Apache on Ubuntu does things by default, uncomment the
# following line:
#
	#DOC_ROOT_PREFIX="/var/www"

#
# Set the virtual host configuration directory
#
	APACHE_VIRTUAL_HOSTS_AVAILABLE="/etc/apache2/sites-available"

#
#
#======= DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS lINE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ========
