Hi,
I'm setting up a new server and would like to use mod_vhost_alias, or other
mass virtual hosting method, if possible. mod_vhost_alias is very simple to
setup and works as advertised:
LoadModule vhost_alias_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_vhost_alias.so
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0/web
Unfortunately, it is as simple as it is simple to setup ;-) My question is in
regards to ServerAlias. "Normal" clients host their website at
http://www.abcd.com/ but they (and I) also like it when http://abcd.com/
works as well. Is there any way (besides filesystem link) to make
vhost_alias find the right DocumentRoot?
Ideally I'd like a directory structure like this:
/var/www/com/abcd/web/
/var/www/com/abcd/subdomain/web/
When serving http://www.abcd.com/ apache wouldn't
find /var/www/com/abcd/www/web/ so it would fallback
to /var/www/com/abcd/web/, if that were missing it would fallback
to /var/www/com/web/ and then to /var/www/web/
Perhaps something like the above is possible using mod_rewrite??? I'll keep
plugging away for a while but if anyone knows the answer I'm all for
shortcuts.
Second question. Supposing that the above can work somehow I'd like to use
one common logfile for all virtualhosts, with the virtualhost's name
prepended to each log line. This is easy of course. The catch of course is
that I'd like to have consistent names for hosts, i.e. I don't want to be
splitting off logfiles for www.abcd.com and abcd.com when those are actually
the same site.
Basically, I'd like apache logging to be smart enough to realize that it is
actually serving abcd.com although the hostname in the request was
www.abcd.com.
