apache 1.3.14.
havemultiple developers hacking html, mod_perl w/ own sandboxes.
need them to start up their own servers on various ports (e.g.,
8081, 8082...). we are using CVS and need to share access to a
valid httpd.conf file.
hmmm... we all use the same httpd.conf and we all step on one
another w/ ports and dir's. not good.
no way i know of use specify htdocs as a relative path or use
$HOME or $SANDBOX to set it.
virtual hosts don't work well since everyone collides on the
main server's PORT setting and none of has have SU access to
suck up port 80 (which still wouldn't help if we collide on 80).
trying to avoid people using -d for now -- still doesn't help
since DocumentRoot wants an absolute path.
include doesn't work since we are sharing the same CVS tree and
would end up with the same includes -- unless there is something
like
Include "$ENV{LOGNAME}-conf"
to allow per-user portions of the config.
never learned how to configure apache w/ the perl format,
which might solve the entire thing via $ENV{HOME}. might not...
so...
anyone have an example httpd.conf (stock or perly) that would
allow multiple people on the same machine to check out the same
httpd.conf, start up httpd w/ -f ./httpd.conf and not collide
on the ports, dir's?
the only thing i can come up with so far is rather messy,
using, with
<IfDefine blah>
Include blah-config
</IfDefine>
we can edit the common httpd.conf file for each of ourselves.
seems like performing the replacement in-place (e.g., via
$LOGNAME) would be a cleaner way.
thanx
