Andrew, wouldn't you be better off with something like mod_vhost_alias, as-is or as leitmotiv? Propagating configuration changes to all workers is rather difficult, especially with pre-fork MPMs.

Propagating configuration changes to all workers is rather difficult, especially with pre-fork MPMs. Unfortunately, I need some suexec mechanism, currently I'm using mpm_itk, so I need some per-vhost settings, it's not available with mod_vhost_alias style dispatch-time modules. At least, as far as I understand how they work. -- Andrew

Though there are some aspects of configuration you can change on the fly. What I want to achieve is injecting new vhosts without Apache restart. Of course I'm aware that the changes would fully take effect after all workers have recycled, but for me - it's still better than a restart. There are some similar modules around. Someone already said mod_vhost_alias, but I'd also point you at mod_vhost_dbd as an example that may be nearer to what you want if your needs are sufficiently complex to demand a new module. -- Nick Kew
Can an Apache module inject configuration in runtime?
Hi, First of all, hi to the Apache developers, I'm new to this list - nice to meet you all. I'm wondering if it's possible for an Apache module to change global config structures. What I want to achieve is injecting new vhosts without Apache restart. Of course I'm aware that the changes would fully take effect after all workers have recycled, but for me - it's still better than a restart. I've written an Apache module before, but the configuration is an unknown land to me. While reading config.c, I noticed that a function called ap_build_config() could be helpful, but how do I call it to do what I need? Is it at all possible? -- Andrew
