Using variables in httpd.conf?


random1

Recommended Posts

I'm running the latest version of Apache Server on Windows 7 64-bit.

 

It working fine and set up correctly.

 

I'd like to use ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES or a variable like "%current_directory%" or "..\%current_directory%" in the configuration files for Apache, httpd.conf etc.

 

Is this possible? Is httpd.conf a parsed file, can variables be define and used in it? Help would be much appreciated :D

The values of shell environment variables can be used in configuration file lines using the syntax ${ENVVAR}. If "ENVVAR" is the name of a valid environment variable, the value of that variable is substituted into that spot in the configuration file line, and processing continues as if that text were found directly in the configuration file. (If the ENVVAR variable is not found, the characters "${ENVVAR}" are left unchanged for use by later stages in the config file processing.)
