I work for a small domain hosting company, and we currently host a few
hundred domains. What I'm trying to do is have apache build the httpd.conf
file dynamically when it starts from a MySQL database. Easy enough. Got
most of it working, the only thing I'm running into is mod_rewrite problems.
Does anybody have any idea how to add the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^90.0.0.1$
RewriteRule .* http://www.whatever.com
to my current perl code (note - this isn't extracting info from the database
yet. Just a simple text file for testing purposes):
<Perl>
open(SC, "< /www/conf/virtual-domains.conf") || die "$!";
while(<SC>) {
chomp;
next if(/^s*#/);
my($sn,$sa,$ip,$htdir,$errlog,$translog) = split(/:/,$_,-1);
$VirtualHost{$sn} = {
ServerName => $sn,
ServerAlias => "www.".$sn",
DocumentRoot => "/www/virtual/".$htdir,
ErrorLog => "/www/virtual/".$htdir."logs/".$errlog,
TransferLog => "/www/virtual/".$htdir."logs/".$translog
};
}
close(SC);
__END__
</Perl>
I'm thinking I can just add RewriteEngine => "on" to the VirtualHost hash.
But how do I handle the RewriteCond and the RewriteRule? Can I make a hash
of hashes or something? Maybe do something like:
RewriteCond => {'\%{REMOTE_ADDR}' => "!^90.0.0.1\$" },
RewriteRule => {'\.*' => "http://www.whatever.com" },
But that doesn't really work. Just so you know, I've removed all of the
error checking for readability. I didn't copy and paste this, so there
might be some syntax errors. Anyway, if anybody can make a suggestion, or
point me at a web site I would appreciate it. Thanks a ton in advance.
