crap.. Yes, then we probably need some logic for that :(

Almost: The files will be created under
 <host>/<plugin>-<plugin_instance>  (if plugin_instance is not empty)
or
 <host>/<plugin>                    (if plugin_instance is empty)

Therefore ‘plugin’ should always be set to “apache” and
‘plugin_instance’ should be set to the user-supplied string.

Hope this clears things up a bit ;)
