httpd.conf and external files

Hi there

Does anyone know if this could work, and how?

I want to seperate my virtual hosts in seperate files and then dynamicly include these in the httpd.conf
EX:

in httpd.conf:
include *.virtualhost

in the visualhost files:
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1>
ServerAdmin admin@company.com
DocumentRoot [path to project]
ServerName [project name]
</VirtualHost>

The trick should be that when you want to add a new virtual host, you just create a new file(projectname.virtualhost) with the needed info in.

You can't.

The "path to" or "relative path of your ServerRoot to" projectname.virtualhost file must be specified explicitly.

#httpd.conf
Include etc/apache/vhost.file

#vhost.file
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1>
ServerAdmin admin@company.com
DocumentRoot [path to project]
ServerName [project name]
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1>
ServerAdmin admin@another_company.com
DocumentRoot [path to another project]
ServerName [another project name]
</VirtualHost>

All you need is to alter vhost.file


>>The trick should be that when you want to add a new virtual host

If you don't like to alter your httpd.conf and don't like a 10k lines in one vhost.file.
Try this:

#httpd.conf (the first character of the domain)
Include etc/apache/vhost.a
Include etc/apache/vhost.b
Include etc/apache/vhost.c
Include etc/apache/vhost.d
...
Include etc/apache/vhost.9

This at the very least should keep your vhost.file smaller, it doesn't matter if such file is blank.
