I prefer a /home/d/o/domain.com structure. Allows for massive growth.

Yea screw yourself.

Stas, it’s purely preference on my part. I connect via ssh directly to my user folder, and I don’t like to go searching around ot other folders to find my data. Since web server is the only thing my machine does, and since I am the only user, it’s mentally more convenient for me this way.

Thanks for saving my time by writing it up.
Btw, I would like to ask, why not placing the DocumentRoot in /var/www/*** and leave only the logs in home directory and a2ensite files?

Also if you run chmod +x siteup then edit your ~/.bash_profile to include export PATH="$PATH:~/bin" it saves you having to use ~/bin/siteup to run the script, a simple siteup will suffice. Even if you don't do that, then a simple ~/bin/siteup will run the script, no need for the leading .

Thanks, bradoaks. You’re absolutely right; I had forgotten about that options. I’ll amend the post to include that method.

just a quick note that you can use mkdir’s -p option and it will create any of the parent directories needed in order to complete your request:
mkdir -p ~/www-config/sites-available
Thanks for writing about your experiences with the command line.
