Thank you Scot for your, as usual, on target contribution.
I see what you mean about the pkg-plist and the use of sed to change that.
I have hit a snag.
All my virtual hosts are on a seperate path which is, incidentally, a separate physical device.
The install failed.
my make command was
make PKGNAMESUFFIX=_vh1 JOOMLA_DIR=/usr2/virtualhosts/my_virtualhost install
The prime cause of failure seemed to be that it was looking for
/usr/local//usr2/virtualhosts/virtualhostname
What do I need to change??
Thanks again
david
