I don't think that's doable as you request, nor do I think it is a
noble goal. , Unless you have a really really unusual use case, you
will have per-site specific settings -- for example, HTTPS
certificates.
HOWEVER, with some trivial scripting, you can easily accomplish something
that appears to be what you request. When you have a lot of similar
things to manage, think scripts. :) Here's a primitive and untested
concept:
newweb:
========================
#!/bin/ksh
mkdir -m755 /var/www/$1
chown (whomwever) /var/www/$1
cat >>/etc/httpd <<__ENDSITE
server "$1" {
alias "www.$1"
listen on $ext_addr port 80
log style combined
log access $1.access
log error $1.error
root /$1
}
__ENDSITE
/etc/rc.d/httpd reload
========================
Now, in real life, you would want to flesh out that config a bit
more, and you would probably want to save a copy of the httpd.conf
file, and check if httpd errored, and if so, restore the old copy.
Lots of other error checking would be appropriate as well.
You could also just do something more sophisticated, like create
an httpd.d directory and create a template domain.conf file in
there for each one, and just add an "include" line in your
httpd.conf for each new domain. Now when you decide that all your
domains are NOT just alike, you can easily rev the ones that are
different.
