Hi Kai,
Thanks for the info, and I've now set it up with
VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress/. It's a brand new domain, so I can
break it as much as I like just now :-)
However, it is still failing when looking for /etc/wordpress/wp-settings.php
and /etc/wordpress/wp-includes/
The file /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php hunts for HTTP_HOST in /etc/wordpress/,
which in turn gets config-www.sharebear.me.uk.php (for my setup anyway). This
file, taken from /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php, has the following
code at the end
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
My PHP skills aren't the best, but it would appear that this
searches /etc/wordpress/ for wp-settings.php, which it can't find. This could
be due to ABSPATH being set to /etc/wordpress/ instead
of /usr/share/wordpress/
So, I've edited config-www.sharebear.me.uk.php to define ABSPATH
as /usr/share/wordpress/ instead of dirname(__FILE__).'/', and it all works
perfectly!
I'd still consider this to be a bug, but it may come down to a setting I had
wrong somewhere.
Many thanks,
Kyle
