Re: [webmin-l] virtualmin - subdomain creation problems.

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

You could make this chown conditional on whether the domain is sub-server
or not, with shell code like :

if [ "$VIRTUALSERVER_PARENT" = "" ]; then
  chown root $VIRTUALSERVER_HOME
fi

The VIRTUALSERVER_PARENT variable is set to the ID of the parent server,
and is empty for top-level servers.
