<p>We want to automatically create a virtual host for every hostname
|
|
which resolves in our domain, without having to create
|
|
new VirtualHost sections.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this recipe, we assume that we'll be using the hostname
|
|
<code>www.<strong>SITE</strong>.example.com</code> for each
|
|
user, and serve their content out of
|
|
<code>/home/<strong>SITE</strong>/www</code>.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Solution:</dt>

|
|

|
|

|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
<div class="warning">You will need to take care of the DNS
|
|
resolution - Apache does
|
|
not handle name resolution. You'll need either to create CNAME
|
|
records for each hostname, or a DNS wildcard record. Creating DNS
|
|
records is beyond the scope of this document.</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The internal <code>tolower</code> RewriteMap directive is used to
|
|
ensure that the hostnames being used are all lowercase, so that there is
|
|
no ambiguity in the directory structure which must be created.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Parentheses used in a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond">RewriteCond</a></code> are captured into the
|
|
backreferences <code>%1</code>, <code>%2</code>, etc, while parentheses
|
|
used in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> are
|
|
captured into the backreferences <code>$1</code>, <code>$2</code>,
|
|
etc.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As with many techniques discussed in this document, mod_rewrite really
|
|
isn't the best way to accomplish this task. You should, instead,
|
|
consider using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_vhost_alias.html">mod_vhost_alias</a></code> instead, as it will much
|
|
more gracefully handle anything beyond serving static files, such as any
|
|
dynamic content, and Alias resolution.

|
|
|
|
<p>This extract from <code>httpd.conf</code> does the same
|
|
thing as <a href="#per-hostname">the first example</a>. The first
|
|
half is very similar to the corresponding part above, except for
|
|
some changes, required for backward compatibility and to make the
|
|
<code>mod_rewrite</code> part work properly; the second half
|
|
configures <code>mod_rewrite</code> to do the actual work.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Because <code>mod_rewrite</code> runs before other URI translation
|
|
modules (e.g., <code>mod_alias</code>), <code>mod_rewrite</code> must
|
|
be told to explicitly ignore any URLs that would have been handled
|
|
by those modules. And, because these rules would otherwise bypass
|
|
any <code>ScriptAlias</code> directives, we must have
|
|
<code>mod_rewrite</code> explicitly enact those mappings.</p>

<p>This arrangement uses more advanced <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>
|
|
features to work out the translation from virtual host to document
|
|
root, from a separate configuration file. This provides more

|
flexibility, but requires more complicated configuration.</p>
|
|
|

<p>The <code>vhost.map</code> file should look something like

this:</p>

<div class="example"><p><code>

customer-1.example.com /www/customers/1<br />

|
|
customer-N.example.com /www/customers/N<br />
