Description of problem: Changing the DocumentRoot is really messy with the current system, and needs to be done each time the server restarts, or even php restarts. I could get the same by doing something like export OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR=/new/path This should be made more simple, and the change made persistent. How about having an option for that in the management console, or a permanent environment variable which never gets reset. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible:Try changing the documentroot of php from app-root/repo/ to app-root/repo/newfolder/ Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a PHP catridge 2.Create a new folder in app-root/repo/ and try to make it the DocumentRoot 3.Restart PHP/ server. Actual results: There should be an option to permanently change the Document Root Expected results: Additional info:
This is the existing environment variable that you can modify to change the php document root --> OPENSHIFT_PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT
I tried setting it using export OPENSHIFT_PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT=/newlocation/ but it never seems to work. I use php 5.3 catridge, and is trying to install phabricator. Phab needs the document root to be app-root/repo/phabricator/webroot/
