NO!!! This is simply not possible! This would mean that you need 
file-sharing access to
the server - and that is not normally the case!! For example this is 
impossible if the server
is hosted on a big UNIX machine at an ISP. You will never get the right 
to browse
through it's directory structure!!!
No - simplest way (and ONLY cross-platform way) is - that Vserver 
returns list of
possible database locations!! VServer can simply read this list from 
.ini file for example.
So administrator needs to setup this path list once before first start. 
This is already the case
now as i see - but currently we only have one db location there.

It would also be very powerfull if we can "UPLOAD" a new database to 
one of this locations
with the help of VServer (for example by ftp..)
