This script is designed to help you when create a new web site under /opt directory. If you want to create a site under an ibay, do not use this script.

The main purpose is to avoid the time cosuming typing. Befor SMESiteMaker you must typing to create the dir, conf files and DB configs. With SMESiteMaker you only ask same questions in the wizard.

The main purpose is to automate the time consuming (and sometimes confusing) process of installing an application to the /opt directory. If you do not use SMESiteMaker you must create the dir, conf files, and DB configs manually from the command line. With SMESiteMaker,  you only have to answer the questions in the wizard.

The script create the basics environment for your site, such as directory, permissions, apache configuration, add, replace or leave databases and user, and restart the pertinent services. Ofcourse you can edit the final config file (under /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/99SMESiteMaker_yourconfname) to add your own parameters, but generally default is ok.

If you make a mistake or want to revert the changes, first remove the directory you choose to locate your site under /opt. Then remove the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/99SMESiteMaker_yourconfname. If you create a DB then remove DB and User if are new.
