Patch to elaborate on the warning
Here's a simple patch that would elaborate on the warning, stating instead: Warning: DocumentRoot [%s] does not exist or is not a directory
|
I often set the DocumentRoot of a vhost to a file (PHP script) to remap requests for all URIs to a single point of entry. This works just fine and has never given me a problem, but Apache throws a warning about the DocumentRoot not existing. The existence check should probably just check for existence, and not that the DocumentRoot is a directory (which is what it is apparently doing now) or at least give a more accurate warning ("DocumentRoot is not a directory") or something.
