Well hosting companies do'nt give out there in the house modules.
But should be to hard to make one if you base it off the existing Apache modules there OS. |

If I do end up creating one, I'll keep it open source. I'll have to look over the code this weekend.
But, you say it 'should be hard' or 'shouldn't be hard'? Because, to me, I think it would be easier to create one based of the current apache module. |

I think that if you added the basedir option to mod_vd, it would be the perfect solution.. no restarting, automatic domain and sub domain creation, and faster than all the other virtual hosting modules...
I'm not sure you're allowed to redistribute modifications according to the licence.... but it might be worth asking the creator, he might even include it in his version if you did, otherwise I don't believe he works on the module anymore

A restart is not needed to add domains. That is the whole point of a dynamic virtual host. |

Yes but with these setups you do need to restart (at least the configs)
And DeliriumServers, I haven't had a chance of even installing the mod_vd, I'll try to do that this weekend and will post the results. |

| There are a few third party modules floating around. The problem with dynamic vhosts is the loss of certain PHP variables but these modules sort that out and without the restart. With them it is possible to write the configuration for virtual hosts into a MySQL table instead of in the vhost and the table contains all the php values relevant to that domain. This allows domains to be added by altering the SQL table rather than restarting the server. |

| @bokehman well if you could point out a dynamic vhost module that runs on windows apache, and supports php variables, we'd appreciate it. |

| Well the way i do it it do a -k restart no request get dropped. Since it keeps listening while the conf is reread and then just contineus. Port 80 isn't even released from the process |

I heard about the SQL module that can do that, but the speed of retrieveing the domain slows down a bit, especailly if your MySQL server is on the same server as the apache server - at least this is what I think.
Though are you suggestion that most webhosts use that module? Or do they just build their own?
Also Jorge, when you run the httpd -k restart command, do you run it manually or have you written a script to run it when ever you add something to your vhost config file? If its a script, how did you get it to runt he command? It requires root access at least. |

I wrote my own scrip that updatres host.conf (special config) I just ssh over to the machine, then run sudo host_manage.pl
and nabigate through the menu it will handle all the restarts folder deletion creation, simple conf changes (like who has php enable etc) for me |

I see, SSH to your server, thanks.
Anyhow for that MySQL Module check this out:
http://pookey.co.uk/wiki/linux/shapvh
Not sure if you can use the open_basedir restriction here |

In the FAQs from that page is written. that is a) *nix system code b) it do NOT support apache 2.0 yet only 1.3.x
So IMHO that is not a solution. |

For safety reasons i won't post my current version of my script but i can give you my older one.
Only difference here is that a httpd -k restart or a apachectl restart needs to be ran manually when your done with the host managing script.

Note: You need mod_macro for this to work.
This is provided asis and i can't promis it will work for you.
host_manager.pl has some limitations to it that doesn't make it ideal for live server (aka not doing a gracefull restart) I won't fix this for you. Nor can I be held responsible for possible bugs in this. It works fine for me and does what I want it to do. |

doesn't having a whole lot of virtual hosts also slow down apache significantly
@jorge -k restart is different than restarting with the apache monitor right?
since apache monitor restart for me causes a loss of service (apache down) for a few seconds. |

| httpd -k restart should in theory handle all current open requests, reread the conf file, continue with new settings |

-k restart is the best way to have smallest downtime with apache. Under *nix based systems -k graceful is the better way to restart.

I haven't noticed loosing preformance using vhosts. Have tested it under Windows with 12 vhost and under freeDSB with 40 vhosts. I only noticed that apache used a lot more RAM under freeDSB. Can tell you that RAM usage grows under windows, because I haven't tesed it yet.
Most big hosters uses mass vhosting. if there should be seperate RAM for each host hosters uses XEN or something like that.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/mass.html for good examples how developers think mass vhosts works. |

I got a question, in php, when uploading an avatar from a url - this is where it gets its 'tmp' folder path:
| Code: | $tmp_path = ( !@$ini_val('safe_mode') ) ? '/tmp' : './' . $board_config['avatar_path'] . '/tmp';
$tmp_filename = tempnam($tmp_path, uniqid(rand()) . '-'); |
Now, with open_basedir enabled, you'll start getting a denied access... how would one by pass this? Is there a way to change, like /tmp to an alias to a path thats in the open_basedir restrictions? How is this done? |

you should set into your vhost a new tmp dir for each user.
folder structur could be
C:\users\AMailer\
C:\AMailer\ tmp
C:\AMailer\htdocs
in the vhost you can set (httpd.conf)
php_value upload_tmp_dir C:/AMailer/tmp
php_admin_value open_basedir C:/users/AMailer
C:\users\James\
C:\James\ tmp
C:\James\htdocs
in the vhost you can set (httpd.conf)
php_value upload_tmp_dir C:/James/tmp
php_admin_value open_basedir C:/users/James |
