Hi All.
Tonight I found I needed to write yet another Virtual Host definition
for Apache. So, seeing as this is a redundant process, I decided to
automate it with a script, and thought I'd share.
In the script below, you would only need to change the DIR_VHOST,
DIR_WWW, and DIR_LOG directories to match your setup. DIR_VHOST is
where the virtual host config file should be stored (the filename is
created automagically). The DIR_WWW is where you want the root
directory for this host (where the html files go). The DIR_LOG is where
to store the log files for this host.
The only nagging point for me is how to handle if someone enters one or
more spaces for the domain name... But, seeing as that is not proper
anyways, this works for me. Of course, this only creates a basic vhost
config, but it's a starting point...
Also, I'm sure there's lots that can be done to make this script better.
But my initial test works fine - the virtual host is responding properly.
Hope this helps someone.
Shawn
