This is a security breach.

You don't do it this way. You just make links in the domain's document 
root folder to a TYPO3 source using shell and sudo.

For ex.

sudo -u apacheuser ln -s ../t3lib/gfx ./gfx

Link and destination have to be owned by the user:group executing 
(Apache) and you don't have to change vhost's document roots at all.

And this is fully suPHP compliant and safe like a fortress.

Links you need to make in every typo3 domain's document root folder are:

t3lib -> ./typo3_src/t3lib
tslib -> ./typo3_src/tslib
typo3 -> ./typo3_src/typo3
typo3_src -> ../../typo3_src-3.8.0/
index.php -> tslib/index_ts.php
showpic.php -> tslib/showpic.php

Copy the media folder to every domain, and make other dirs there:

fileadmin
typo3conf
typo3temp
uploads etc.
