Re: running mv twice on the same port ...

[Marius Schaefer <maillist@b-p-a.com>]

Hi dbw,

virtuald is just a "chroot <userid>" when calling a programm
(http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Virtual-Services-HOWTO.html). Every user has
its own apache running, so that he can handle his own httpd.conf. And in the same way
we want to handle minivend. Each user is his own admin. So we canīt use different
ports for mvend (which also does not work for me, why ever...), because one user does
not know what the other is doing. I am just wondering, because apache is using port
80 and there is no problem at all...
