Several VHosts, one database

[Ryan Wilson]

I can confirm that this method works (My production setup currently has 4
domains using the same database).

I have a few warnings involving not sharing the data directory. Any
template changes you do require a ./checksetup.pl run for each PROJECT.
Also, if you have Bugzilla configured to store attachments locally, you
will run into problems when accessing a bug from a host other than the one
the bug was added in. I can, however, confirm that replacing the
attachments directory in all but one setup with a symbolic link to the
remaining setup and configuring apache to accept symlink read/write
eliminates that problem entirely.
