Hi!
I thought I could copy the same static server definition block and only
change a unique macro definition at the top of each server. But this is
not working:
##############################
# from httpd.conf
##############################
# [...]
# macro definition
certroot="/etc/ssl/httpd"
docroot="/htdocs"
domain="domain.tld"
server $domain{
listen on * tls port 443
tls certificate $certroot/$domain/$domain.pem
tls key $certroot/$domain/$domain.key
root $docroot/$domain
}
domain="anotherdomain.tld"
server $domain{
listen on * tls port 443
tls certificate $certroot/$domain/$domain.pem
tls key $certroot/$domain/$domain.key
root $docroot/$domain
}
# [...]
##############################
The idea was if you have a lot of server definitions you could keep
static the parts that are the same and just change the macro for each
server the line above the server block.
Because httpd.conf man page says "Macros are not expanded inside
quotes." I cannot use 'root "$docroot/$domain"'. But 'root
$docroot/$domain' isn't accepted either. Does that mean I cannot use
Macros for parts of the config file that reference to files or folders,
because Macros are not expanded inside quotes but keywords with file or
folder options require enclosing quotes? If that's the case I don't
understand what Macros are good for.
Thanks in advance!
T.
