Vhost Manager v1.1

New Features

In a previous post, i introduced vhost-manager 1.0, a command line tool that helps to create and manage sites on your machine.

In this release,

• You can now specify a directory

Previously, you could only create a new site in the current directory you are working it. This makes sense in many cases. Sometime other time, you want to create a site without creating a directory yet. In this release, you can specify a directory you want to use as your domain root. if the directory does not exist, it will be created and necessary permissions will be set. This saves you a lot of headache.

Just run

$ ./vhost new:site

It asks you for

1. Sitename
2. Root directory. If left empty, the current working directory will be used.
3. Public directory

For permission reasons, make sure you run the command with sudo

• You can now delete a site

What happens if you make a mistake or you want to completely erase a virtual site from your machine? just run

./vhost delete:site

You will get a list of all available sites of which you are to select one from. After selecting, you will be prompted to confirm that you are sure. If you agree, then the manager will proceed to delete your site.
Again, you have to run this command with sudo

• Output now printed nicely.

I also created a base command class CommandStructure.php that contains basic common commands which other classes extend.

Many thanks to symfony/process project.
