# phpix-create-new-instance(1)

phpix instance installer

## NAME

phpix-create-new-instance — phpix instance installer

## SYNOPSIS

**phpix-create-new-instance \[option\] directory**

## DESCRIPTION

**phpix-create-new-instance** is basically a little script to  create a new phpix instance in the specified directory by copying from  or creating symlinks to the master files in  **/var/www/phpix/**.

The **config.inc** from  **/etc/phpix/** is copied too and can be use to  override the default options locally.

**Note:**

**Copied files aren't updated when a new package of phpix is**  **installed.**

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  **Display a short help message explaining the command line options.**

- **-s**

  **Symlink phpix files instead of copying them.**

-

  **This option guarantees that your local instances always use the**  **newest version of phpix. For this mode to work**  **FollowSymLinks must be switched on in apache's**  **access.conf.**

## SEE ALSO

**phpix (1), apache (8).**
