Actually InstantMirror should work just fine in a simple non-VirtualHost configuration, so perhaps the default Apache configuration file can leave out the VirtualHost directives and we can bundle the fancier VirtualHost configuration as an example in the docs directory. > Anyway, I was able to test my suggestions on two different servers > with two different sets of configuration files in conf.d, and my > recommendations seem to work well in both cases.

I have no idea what WSUS does but my guess is the 80/20 rule applies. Still, the fact that a useful admin tool can be implemented in less than 100 lines of Python demonstrates the excellent design of Apache, mod_python and Python. --Ed -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
