[phpa] Re: Multiple sites, one set of files?

Hi Chris,

Depending on how you setup your sites you should get the behaviour you want.
Firstly, phpa doesn't use filenames to refer to files, so even if you have
files with same name, or even identical paths on some virtual file system,
if the files are physically different, then phpa will see them as different. 

However, if you can install a single copy of VBulletin and have symbolic
links to it from different places, there will only be one set of cached
files and you should get what you want.  If you have config files that
normally live within the VBulletin tree then you will have to relocate those
elsewhere.
