Ok. This would probably be a much better solution than what I was originally proposing. (I'm not sure I made a very clear proposal, btw). If we can futz around with the vhosts that apache thinks it has in memory, *and* somehow age them and remove them if they don't get accessed in a specified amount of time, we would run an awful amount of *individually configured* vhosts off a single apache instance and never have to graceful it. Which is my ultimate aim, at any rate.

My C's not half bad, but I'm not that great with apache internals. Although I am picking at my own modules for apache2. I've got autoconf/automake/libtool for configuration systems. Never used and LDAP though. I don't have much time, but I'd be willing to help out if I can.

Re: Re: Advanced Mass Hosting Module
Instead of writing a new module from the scratch. I don't know if it's a good idea to look at mod_rewrite RewriteMap internal function first. From mod_rewrite documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap), it written: "Here the source is an internal Apache function. Currently you cannot create your own, but the following functions already exists:" Actually, this is not true anymore in Apache 2 since you can write your own internal functions now. So what I suggest is that your module should register a function as a mod_rewrite RewriteMap internal function. In this way, you would have your advanced mass hosting needs and still have the power of mod_rewrite.

Thats what use use currently (because suexec didn't fit our model) and it works great. Though, there seems to be a bug where it's poisoning the environment ... At any rate, if I'm interfering around the URI-to-filename translation phase first, I should be able to minimise any problems with .htaccess files. But, I don't know, I don't fully understand all the phases that I can interfere with just yet :) There are other phases I've not really looked at as well which I could hook into to do extra sanity checks, I guess.

If my feeble coding skills are up to it :) I've requested a new sf.net project, so in a couple of days I should be able to put up my hacky bits of code.

RE: [Win32] compiling Apache 2.1.0-dev: missing sslc.h
Huh !!.. I've tried building using OpenSSL 0.9.7 (and 0.9.6i,g,h,e,b).. I guess there's some problem with the configure [not able to recognize OpenSSL vs SSL-C, and hence not defining the -DHAVE_OPENSSL flag]. Since my knowledge of building on windows is limited, can you please try the following : 1. Please re-run buildconf before you start the configure [I hope you did it earlier also]. 2. Verify, after the configure, you should have the -DHAVE_OPENSSL flag set to '1' in the ap_config_auto.h 3. If not, pl. set "-DHAVE_OPENSSL" in your compile flags, AND please let me know.
