SME Site Maker
Purpose
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 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 creates the basic environment for your site, such as directory, permissions, apache configuration, add, replace or leave databases and user, and restart the pertinent services. Of course 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.
Version
Installation
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-sitemaker
Uninstall
yum remove smeserver-sitemaker
Usage
Type at command prompt:
smesm
The script gives you information and prompts for answers at each step.
Reverting changes
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 they are new and no longer needed.
Finally expand template and restart the service:
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

Improvements
You can improve the script adding new functions, and specially re-writing my bad english text strings.
You can add functions to handle perl, and custom apache and php directives.
The idea of this script can be used as the new panel development, for add and configure the web site via server-manager.
