Croydon,

Thanks for that. :-)

Going to have to lie down now...

Croydon,

Sorry...

Would it be better/safer to use a 'hard' link?

Or not relevant?

As a newb I'm trying very hard to be as secure as possible...

I would not use hard links.

Croydon,

In all that we lost sight of my original question: :-)

If I install <something> in /var/www/something, then every new site will also have access to <something> in /var/www/clients/clientx/something?

The reason I ask is that I would like to figure out how to serve things like phpmyadmin behind https. Seems silly not to...

No it is not. /var/www/something is accessible through the MAIN host of ispc only as far as i know.
That's why I created the 2 plugins for phpmyadmin and webmail symlink.

Sure, it depends on the operating system and installed packages and so on (some packages create aliases in the apache config).

Croydon,

Trying to get my head around this...

If I wanted to provide an https folder for every site created using ISPc, would I have to set it up in /var/www and then adapt your plugin for the https folder?

Then place the symlink for phpmyadmin in the https folder?

Was my search & replace technique correct btw?

Ok, it seems to me we talked about different things
I just wanted to create webmail and phpmyadmin urls for all websites.

There is no option in ispc3 (yet) to give a separate folder for https. As soon as you enable ssl (https) for a website the same url is reachable through https and http.
Maybe this could be a feature request for later releases.

Croydon,

We're not really talking about separate things. I just want to refine the setup :-)

Would a version of your new plugin be a way to create an https folder in an ISPc site?

No, the plugin is really only for a symlink (no matter if https or http).
What you need is rewriting of the vhost config.

Croydon,

Sorry to be dim...

I'm confused about your second version of the plugin then. Would I have to install webmail in /usr/share/? Not /var/www/?
