how to avoid duplicating the document root in vhost conf files?

[Brolin Empey <brolin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

Here is one of my vhost conf files:

[brolin@cowboy] [0] [1] ~/
$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/aidsorphanage.org
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin brolin@xxxxxxxxxx
        ServerName aidsorphanage.org
        ServerAlias www.aidsorphanage.org aidsorphonage.org
www.aidsorphonage.org

        DocumentRoot /var/www/aidsorphanage.org/

#       FIXME: How can I avoid duplicating ${DOCUMENT_ROOT}?
#              - brolin, 2009-09-15
        <Directory "/var/www/aidsorphanage.org/logs/">
                Order Deny,Allow
                Deny from All
        </Directory>

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/www/aidsorphanage.org/logs/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/www/aidsorphanage.org/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

How can I avoid duplicating the document root after it is declared
with the DocumentRoot directive?  In this example, the document root
is duplicated thrice.  Duplication is bad.

I am using apache2 version 2.2.11-2ubuntu2.3.

Thanks,
Brolin
