[ale] Virtual hosting and PHP apps

[David Hillman]

I am using a Linode VPS to test a couple of Drupal apps using Apache virtual
hosts.  One of the problems I am having is the files from one host is
bleeding over into another host; ie, if I put files in host A, I can access
those files from host B.  What gives?  Is that an Apache issue?  If it is,
how do I fix it?  I used the instructions from Linode's website to set up
the virtual hosts with SSL.  I went over the files about 5 times each to
make sure all the folder names were correct.  Is there a document somewhere
that lays out the architecture of virtual hosting?  I want to be able to
trace  what exactly happens when a request is made to a specific host.

The other issue is finding a good way to deploy Drupal easily to a test
server and then to a production server, with all of the security and
database tables in place.  I have heard some people use Ant, spit and duct
tape.  I have never used Ant much.  On the Windows side, I have used msconOn
my laptop, I use Turnkey Linux virtual machine devices to test locally, so
all the setup is done for me there.
