Hi Wash,
As opposed to manipulating httpd.conf, I've used Apache's Include
<directory> directive to make the vhost configuration files easier to
manage. I include the NameVirtualHost directives in httpd.conf, then
follow them with
Include /home/www/vhosts
Each file in /home/www/vhosts represents a domain and contains one
<VirtualHost> block. I don't do a lot of customization to them, but
this snippet builds a new one:
sub addvhost {
my $domain = shift;
print "Setting up apache: ";
if (-f "/home/www/vhosts/$domain") {
print "Rewriting vhost config file... ";
} else {
print "Creating vhost config file... ";
};
# If others can write to /home/www/vhosts/$domain, this will
give you a race condition
open F, ">/home/www/vhosts/$domain" or do {
print "$!\n";
return;
};
print F <<EOF;
<VirtualHost my.ip.addr>
ServerName $domain
ServerAlias www.$domain
ServerAdmin webmaster\@$domain
DocumentRoot /home/www/$domain
ErrorLog /home/www/$domain/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/www/$domain/logs/access_log combined
Alias /icons/ "/home/apache/icons/"
<Directory /home/www/$domain>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/www/$domain/logs>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride Limit AuthConfig
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
EOF
close F;
print "ok.\n";
# Another one here :)
# Adjust UIDs appropriately
chown 511, 511, "/home/www/vhosts/$domain" or die "$!";
print "/home/apache/bin/apachectl graceful: ";
print `/home/apache/bin/apachectl graceful`;
print "\n";
};
(Yes, /home/apache and /home/www make for a lousy directory layout -
this is actually on a cobalt raq running Linux, but the same principles
apply. ;)
This is handy for a few reasons - a couple are no blocking on httpd.conf
and no chance of munging it if your script runs amok.
Hope this helps,

[ I sent this to -questions but got no help ;) ]
Hello Users,
I believe someone already had written a script that can be used to
manipulate
httpd.conf to add/remove virtual host entries.
I sincerely believe that this is somewhere so I don't have to start
agonizing
about re-inventing the wheel.
Could someone kindly point me to where one is located, better even share
with me
what they have ;-)
