virtualpsm

Hello all.  I have been researching dynamic virtualhosts for about a month now and still can't seem to figure out the best solution to my problem.  Basically, I want to be able to add subdomains & domains to Apache 2.0 dynamically, but I can't figure out how to get them into my VirtualHost.  I understand apache can dynamically construct vhosts based on the directory structure, but the problem I see there is that I want each site to have the same code base/document root, not read from their individual directories. I read on apache's docs that mod_rewrite can read in an external file, which may be a possibility.  I would just need to write the corresponding PHP script that would append to or delete from that file when hosts are added/deleted. Can anyone help me here?  The ideal for me would be to have a directory of flat files (one for each vhost) to read with the vhost information or construct it from my SQL database.  I'm open to all ideas. Thanks in advance.

Hello all - Here's the scenario, running PHP5 and Apache 2.x on Fedora5 I am making it possible for new subdomains or domains to be added to my server through a PHP web utility.  I have DNS figured out (using powerdns with mysql), but now I am not sure how to configure Apache w/o modifying the .conf file each time and reloading (doesn't even seen possible with PHP). I have done some research into dynamic virtualhosts, but the problem is that I want to run the SAME php script DocumentRoot directory for each virtuahost, but have the virtualhosts dynamically loaded either by a directory structure, or even a file that is read into Apache that I can use PHP to append to or delete from. In other words, I want all of the following to work: ------   http://www.someoneelesedomain.com/ runs scripts located in   /www/masterphpscript ------   http://site1.mydomain.com/ runs scripts located in   /www/masterphpscript ------   http://site2.mydomain.com runs scripts located in   /www/masterphpscript I don't think setting up a regular <VirtualHost> with wildcards will work as a) I want to support TLDs that I have no clue what they'll be (i.e. someoneelsesdomain.tld or someone.elses.domain.tld) b) I have special subdoms (i.e. mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com) that I DON'T want to run the master php script, I want them to access a totally different DocumentRoot. So I can't very well set up a virtualhost which is ServerName *.* can I? ---------------------------- Now, here's some extra credit: Currently for individual sites I am storing files in a mysql database.  However, in the future I may want to move them out to regular chmod777 folder on the server.  So... in that case, how could I accomplish the following: ------   http://www.someoneelesedomain.com/ runs scripts located in   /www/masterphpscript access files stored in   /www/vhosts/someoneelsesdomain.com/files/ ------   http://site1.mydomain.com/ runs scripts located in   /www/masterphpscript access files stored in   /www/vhosts/site1.mydomain.com/files/ ------   http://site2.mydomain.com runs scripts located in   /www/masterphpscript access files stored in   /www/vhosts/site2.mydomain.com/files/ Thanks in advance!
