doc/bugs/websetup_eats_setupconf_and_allow__95__symlinks__95__before__95__srcdir.mdwn



My web server runs in a chroot jail. This makes things interesting because the paths are slightly different depending on whether you are inside or outside the chroot.
To override an incorrectly guessed path, I set setupconf in the .setup file. I also set allow_symlinks_before_srcdir=>1. However, when I tried websetup, the setup file was correctly changed but these important settings disappeared. This seems like a bug.

I don't know what "setupconf" is. This is the first mention of it in the
ikiwiki source tree.
I've fixed the allow_symlinks_before_srcdir issue. --[[Joey]]
