Your problem is that this code is evaluated at startup-time, not request-time.
So this means it will be run once globally, the regexp won't match and you just
configure the default. There are many ways to do it.
First, look at mod_vhost_alias http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html.
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/httpd/html/%0
Would map requests to www.username.com to /www/httpd/html/www.username.com
And for the username.com, you could simply use a symlink.
Second, use mod_rewrite http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Something like :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?[^.]+\.host\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.host\.com(.*) /www/httpd/html/$2$3
Third, you could do it in mod_perl with a custom handler
<Perl>
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
sub My::MassVHosting::handler {
my $r = shift
if($r->header_in('Host') =~ /^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.domain,com/)
{
$r->filename("/home/httpd/html/$2");
$r->stat();
return OK;
}
return Apache::Constants:;DECLINED;
}
</Perl>
PerlTrancHandler My;;MassVHosting
For more information about mod_per magic, consider getting the book or reading the
guide
http://perl.apache.org/guide/
Hope this helps.
