Virtfs v.0.60.0
Introduction
============

Please read the (very) detailed documentation at http://www.prongs.org/virtfs/docs

Virtfs creates a filesystem for the general template that all your virtual servers will link to.
It's with this filesystem that each service for the domain acts upon. A service for virtual_domain.com will NOT
intefere with the filesystem of virtual_domain_2.com or even main_server.com .

By "services", I mean FTP, Mail, and so on...

Please read http://prongs.org/virtfs for more details and from there, the Virtual Services HOWTO.
At the same page, you can read the documentation and an FAQ for virtfs.
RPMs are also available there.

DOCUMENTATION
=============

Documentation is in the docs/ directory - both text and html versions.

Please read the online documentation at http://www.prongs.org/virtfs . The documentation will explain
exactly how virtfs works and how to edit/configure the files.

INSTALL
========

Please read the INSTALL file.

CONFIGURATION
============

First, create a general template filesystem using /etc/virt_template.conf and /usr/local/bin/virt_template.pl .

Please read over /etc/virt.conf after installation.
The configuration file is well documented.

Be sure to answer the "Use Sendmail" value correctly, as well as the application names (ie. adduser, su, etc...)

SETUP
=====

Setting up a virtual directory is done in the following steps:

- Setup IP Aliasing for your virtual domain (read the IP Aliasing Mini HOWTO)
- look over /etc/virt.conf file and change what is needed to be changed.
- Run virtfs and answer the questions.
- Run virtfs to configure the domain (or 'virtfs detect' if you ran virtfs before)
- Edit your inetd.conf files.
- Done.

OTHER
=====

You can also use the Web Server that was written for virtfs, to make it easier for you to 
maintain each virtual host through the web. 
This package is available at http://www.prongs.org/virtfs .

If you use Qmail, and not Sendmail for your Mail service, you can download an additional 
package and read some documentation at http://www.prongs.org/virtfs/qmail .
