how do I change from ibay to opt

Q1. I want to make changes from the ibay to the opt directory, how would I change the httpd.conf fragement file to work in the opt directory
what changes would I need to make to the template below. I have tried many different ways, but, so far, this is the only way I have got this
program to work, using this method


#Metadot

Q.2 When creating domains, you are asked to point it to a ibay, how do I created a template fragement to point to the opt directory for that domain name???


www.domain1.com to point to /opt/domain1

www.domain2.net to point to /opt/domain2

[hardijs]

the problem is twofold - first we need to remove the fragment that does generate the http.conf part where it does describe the ibays and their behaviour.

Also I believe that without "serious editing" ( ) by using some ifs its impossible to mix some ibays and some /opt based directories.


Is there any particular reason why ibay will not suit? The /opt directory is inacessable for the network users unless of course you make a symlink
