Cheers Andrew,
The Chef stuff is by no means perfect. I'm finding my feet with Chef
as much as I am with Davical.
I don't think the PHP stuff does need copying over, initially I'd done
that because I'd seen something in the wiki about a PHP amend.
I don't see a problem with changing the doc root back to what it
should be, it's just a standard thing we have with our chef setups to
create a separate user but that would be easy enough to change.
I don't have a huge amount of time to tweak it at the moment or get
that davical dump over to you, but when I get a chance I will.
Will be in touch, thanks for all your hard work with the project. I
really hope we can use it.
Tom
