Let's say I want to create a site with five virtual hosts. I want all of
them to share the basic MP2 stuff, Apache-related modules and so forth.
Then, for Virtual Host 1 (VH1 for short ;) I want to specify a set of
modules unique to VH1. For VH2-VH4 I want to specify another set of
modules, but the same set for all of those virtual hosts.
So I feel like I want to have two interpreter pools. I want a parent at the
top-most level (outside of all of the virtual hosts) that loads the basic
stuff. Then I want a parent and a pool for VH1. Then I want a parent and a
pool for VH2-VH4 to share.
I'm not clear on how to do this or even if it is possible. I understand how
the Clone and Parent options work, but they depend on the structure of the
Apache configuration file. I don't offhand know of a way to group four
virtual hosts into a block so that they can inherit the same parent/pool.
If I were trying to solve this (assuming that it isn't already possible
somehow) I might come up with the concept of named interpreter parent/pools.
Something like:
<PerlInterpPool VH1>
PerlRequire "VH1/startup.pl"
...
</PerlInterpPool>
<PerlInterpPool VHX>
PerlRequire "VHX/startup.pl"
...
</PerlInterpPool>
<VirtualHost VH1>
PerlInterpPool VH1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost VH2>
PerlInterpPool VHX
</VirtualHost>
...
<VirtualHost VH5>
PerlInterpPool VHX
</VirtualHost>
But that's just off the top of my head and probably wrong for any number of
reasons.
Any thoughts? Or better yet, a way to do this with MP2 already?
