We have used it with 6 or 7 sites and if it installs into the root we have all sorts of permission problems.
Firstly it installs as root ownership but much of the GUI based work requires apache to have write permissions.
I cannot remember all the problems but I do know we have had problems with every deployment - even with a sub-directory.

Our workaround has been to chown to apache but that then means users can’t use FTP to upload files.

If I do a manual install without using the WHAM module it all seems to work fine.
