sending ssl certificate according to virtual host
hi all, i'm actually working on a system where a user can create domains / subdomains throug a webinterface and doesn't have to interact with the httpd.conf. For this I use a unique virtualhost which intercept all client request no matter which vh is requested. After a handler treat the request and fetch the data where it should be fetch. Everyhing is working fine, but I would like to add SSL support on the system. I want to be able to send the SSL certificate and key files for the requested virtual host. Depending on the vh requested I set the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile which will point to the correct ssl files for the requested vh. Is there a way for doing this ? All input appreciated and I hope my explanatins are clear enough on what i want to do. Thanks, Mathieu
Generating dynamic VirtualHost and Location directives
Hi all, I'm actually working on a application for generating dynamic virtual host and locations in these virtual host from a web interface. The purpose of this application is to give a non-administrator the possibility of adding on the fly virtualhost to a webserver without modifying httpd.conf and to add locations to a specific virtualhost. So far I've manage to do the part of generating the httpd.conf file through Perl sections which takes all the necessary data from a MySQL server. The tricky part is to update the server configuration without having to restart the server. I've looked on the web and in the archives of the mailing list and found things about using the PerlInitHandler. I didn't tested it but I'm quite worried about the overhead of connecting to the database to check modification times of the virtual host entries. So my question would be : what will be the more efficient way to update my configuration against a database ? Thanks for answers and ideas, Regards, Mathieu ps: my configuration : apache 1.3.24/mod_perl 1.26 on a linux box.
Generating dynamic VirtualHost and Location directives and reloading Apache configuration
Hi all, I'm actually working on a application for generating dynamic virtual host and locations in these virtual host from a web interface.

The tricky part is to update the server configuration without having to restart the server. I've looked on the web and in the archives of the mailing list and found things about using the PerlInitHandler and sending Apache a SIGUSR1 signal. I don't know how to do this as I'm quite new to the mod_perl programming. I would also want to know if it won't be too slow to check the modifications times of the config in the database at each client request. Do you have any other idea of doing this ? What will be the more efficient way to update my configuration against a database ? Thanks for answers and ideas, Regards, Mathieu ps: my configuration : apache 1.3.24/mod_perl 1.26 on a linux box.
