Re: [cpx] Pre-install questions

Most of my hosting clients are also my web design clients, so our setup of
subhosts make sense (for us).

I'd like to use CPX for clients who are host only and that may have multiple
domains then need to admin.

Can I use CPX in this mixed case? (some sitres in
/www/htdocs/SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME and CPX sites in
home/USERNAME/www/SUBHOST-DOMAIN.NAME)

TIA, Jerry

PS - Can I install CPX without breaking my current setup?
