This is an idea muscle for making UpSync development easier. Use a validated json configuration file to run the program that inits the upsync installation. I specify all the answers to the questions in the json file and unix takes care of the rest including vhosts, apache restarts db config and admin stuff. Next step: Abstract the build up script to work at a higher level. Identify the base case or most simple install into hippely.peopleproductions.com for example. Hard code that install. Then add a web interface on vail to handle the user input and json can be created automatically, passed to the server and the script run.
