It's possible, but I don't think you really want to do it. You would be asking the server to do more than is necessary while handling each request (you probably already are:). Would it not be better for example to rotate your logs frequently, and to process them afterwards, off-line? You would then have a choice of doing things with the various log file analysis tools too. If you are a little bit creative in what you log, it can be simple to extract the information you need for each vhost from one file. Have you considered using something other than flat files for logging? 73, Ged.

During my work on the ENodes project, i've developed a tiny threaded logger in c to manage internal logfiles (by webmaster/website/version). (you can rewrite it in perl with a 5.8.x built with thread...) Perl handlers send log lines through a UNIX socket to the logger which is opening logfiles when needed and keeping them opened. It avoids the overhead of opening and locking each time the file and provides as many online debug logfile as you ask. /me nods. This would save a lot of overhead. The only benefit of opening a new pipe each time I suppose is that you don't need to worry about rotation. The logger is launched in a 'PerlRequire' file. The client have a persistant connection to the logger.

Well ENodes sounds very interesting, particularly the part about webmasters being able to test new versioning without applying changes and the reduced httpd restart feature. Very interesting. Will certainly have a look at this, we're currently considering something called webcp, a PHP project which has much potential but is sitll unfortunately very much in beta.

Virtual Host Logging Perl Script
Hi,
I've just written a short perl script to perform logging for our virtual
hosts. The code has plenty of comments so I'll paste it below.
My question is: would it be possible to use mod_perl in some way to
perform the function of the script? In testing the speed of the script
seems reasonable enough, is there a better way to do what I'm doing
below?
On a related note, I'd ideally like to be able to do similar for Apache
Error logging - ie log apache error log entries once into a main
errorlog file and once into a vhost errorlog file. Is this possible
with ErrorLog lines?
My initial understanding is this isn't possible using the framework
outlined in the code below.
Code follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Script to pipe apache log entries to virtually hosted log files
# Assumes httpd.conf has the following:
# LogFormat %v %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b commonvhost
# and that ONLY the following logging line is used in the httpd.conf:
# CustomLog | /path/to/logger.pl commonvhost
# DO NOT configure the CustomLog directive in the vhost stubs for vhosts
# or this will not work.
# Script logs commonvhost entries to a logfile with a template of:
# /var/log/httpd/virtual.domain/$year/$month/$day
use strict;
my $logEntry = ;
# get the vhost from this log entry:
$logEntry=~/(.*?) /;
my $vhost = $1;
my ($year, $month, $day) = (
(localtime)[5]+1900,
sprintf(%02d, (localtime)[4]+1),
sprintf(%02d, (localtime)[3])
);
# Name of access logfiles:
my $accessLogName = httpd-access.log;
=comment
$logdir:
Location to put all logfiles
This will log everything into:
$logdir/all/$year/$month/$day/httpd-access.log
and put individual vhost logfiles into:
$logdir/$vhost/$year/$month/$day/httpd-access.log
=cut
my $logDir = /var/log/httpd;
my $allLogDir = $logDir/all/$year/$month/$day;
my $vhostLogDir = $logDir/$vhost/$year/$month/$day;
writeLog($allLogDir, all);
writeLog($vhostLogDir, vhost);
# write a log entry to a file
sub writeLog(){
my $logDir = shift @_;
my $type = shift @_;
if( ! -d $logDir ) {
`mkdir -p $logDir`;
}
open(FD, $logDir/$accessLogName);
# if type is vhost, strip off the vhost data:

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

The SSL connection is established and certificates exchanged before any HTTP request is sent. The SSL certificate must be configured on a per-IP-address basis.

virtual host server root
I'm trying to create a root directory for each of my virtuals. The reason is that there's plenty of stuff within the realm of the virtual that certainly shouldn't be within the document root -- templates, cache, logs, etc. Plus, I might want to point a virtual into a user dir somewhere. I've come up with three solutions, none of which I particularly like for various reasons. - PerlSetVar VRoot /someplace Simple, but I've always had a distaste for PerlSetVar for some reason. *shrug* - VRoot /someplace Not as simple. Requires yet another module to implement and adds even more overhead to the server conf file. - ServerPath /someplace Pretty simple Server.xs hack, but probably never supported. Also might open up security holes. Is anybody else doing this sort of thing? --rick
disable mod_perl for specific loation/virtual host
I've a server that has pl-files for mod_perl and cgi for standard-cgi and now got a bunch of pl-files that do not run under mod_perl and cannot be renamed in cgi, cause they are linked in frames on distant hosts where I dont have access too. So I need to disable mod_perl for these pl-files for this specific virtual host: I activate mod_perl in main-part of my http.conf: Files ~ \.pl$ SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI /Files for all virtual hosts and now need to know which PerlHandler is responsible for no-mod_perl cgi. (The PerlRun-Handler also fails ...) It tried in the virtual host section: Files ~ \.pl$ SetHandler cgi-script Options +ExecCGI /Files and even SetHandler default-handler And I tried AddHandler cgi-script .pl but this wont do it. thnx, peter
Re: Virtual Host?
I set up something similar recently. What I would recommend is setting up a separate samba view to 'just' that dirctory on your unix disk which you wish to make publically accessible - set this up in your smb.conf file. You can specify valid users (just the webserver?), whether it is writable accross the network, default netmask etc. You can then set appropriate write permissions on it, without making your whole secure and wonderful unix partion vulnerable to access from your not so wonderful NT server. If you only need a view to those files which you want to add to your web server readable directories, there is no need to make the whole drive visible from the outside. Just map that view to a drive, point your httpd.conf at the drive and you're sorted. R. On Mon, 10 Sep 2001, Medi Montaseri wrote: I think people are responding with how to fix this on a Unix.

Virtual Host?
Hello, I have Apache w/modperl running on my NT box. The box has Samba on it, and I can see my Unix volumes from my SGI box. There is a volume there /DISK7 and I would like to be able to use that as a kind of Virtual host through the Apache Web server. /DISK7 has a bunch of .mov files that instead of copying to the htdocs directory, I would like to be able to href link to them and have them displayed. So my question is, where in the config (or how do I) configure the httpd.conf to allow me to use /DISK7 as part of the doc root? Thanks, Scott Purcell

No, startup.pl is run before the server forks any children. But you can have lots of different servers running on the one machine. Then you could have a proxy which feeds to the appropriate server depending on the URI. Would that do it, or would it be too painful? 73, Ged.

As the complete perl namespace is shared between all your virtual hosts there is really no benifit, just drawbacks: modules required before Apache forks off will result in all childs using a single copy of that module, but required modules after that will load a copy for each child process.

Cookies and Virtual Host ServerName
I encountered a weird problem while writing a
simple authentication handler (based on TicketTool from the eagle book again :
).
My virtual hostwas setup as
follows...
VirtualHost 192.168.100.2DocumentRoot
/usr/local/apache/htdocsServerName mydomain
...
/VirtualHost
In my authentication handler I tried setting a
cookie with a command like this:
$r-err_headers_out-add('Set-Cookie' =
"easy=123; domain=mydomain");
However,Apache would not send the cookie to
the server. When I removed the "domain" setting from the cookie, it
worked, and sent over a cookie with domain "mydomain" which is exactly what I
was trying to achieve when explicitly setting the domain. Why wouldn't
Apache send my original cookie?
After some more testing, I realized that setting my
VirtualHost up with a fully qualified ServerName also solves the problem.
In other words, changing the virtual host to this:
VirtualHost 192.168.100.2DocumentRoot
/usr/local/apache/htdocsServerName www.mydomain.com
...
/VirtualHost
...allows me to set the domain in my cookie (e.g. "domain=mydomain.com")
and have it sent. Checking the Apache documentation, I found that the
syntax for ServerName requires it to be fully qualified. However, not
using a fully qualified domain name seems to work for other purposes, and I
can't figure out the reason for a conflict with cookies. I know it's not
going to get the lost hair back on my head, but I'd still like to understand
what's going on.
Thanks,
Will
Re: Perl Sections and Virtual Host
i've only skimmed this thread, but haven't seen any mention of chapter 8 online at http://modperl.com/ which covers Perl sections in detail.
Re: Perl Sections and Virtual Host
my $realname = 'http://www.main.org';
my %vnames = ( 'sec.ondary.com' = 'second', 'third.dom.com' = 'third' );
^^^
foreach (keys %vnames) {
^^^
$VirtualHost{'192.168.1.2:80'} = {
ServerName = $_,
RedirectPermanent = ( ['/', "$realname/$vname{$_}/index.phtml"] )
^^
Maybe this is just in your example, but you might have cut-and-pasted from
yor config, so I'll mention it: In your RedirectPermanent, you are referencing
%vname, not %vnames. Without strict turned on in your Perl section, Perl
won't tell you.
Yep, I caught this one a few minutes ago (but if I had read my mail earlier,
your message would have saved half of my day. Well, there are times like
that...).
I'm getting somewhat closer, I think it's now just a matter of understanding
more precisely 'what' should be used as the RedirectPermanent value. This
work just fine now :
Perl
my $realname = 'real.domain.com';
my %vnames = ( 'prim.ary.com' = 'first', 'sec.ondary.com' = 'second' );
$VirtualHost{'192.168.1.2:80'} = [ { ServerName = $realname } ];
foreach (keys %vnames) {
my $vhref = {
ServerName = $_,
RedirectPermanent = "/ http://$realname/$vnames{$_}/"
};
push @{$VirtualHost{'192.168.1.2:80'}}, $vhref;
}
/Perl
Whenever I ask for http://prim.ary.com, I get transparently redirected to
http://real.domain.com/first. Cute. Almost there.
But I have other URLs I want to remap. Say, prim.ary.com/europe should be
mapped to real.domain.com/europe. With the above setup, I am redirected to
real.domain.com/first/europe. So I need now to have _several_ RedirectPermanent
(or anything that could save my whole day -- well, night, it's 23 pm here).
I have tried a helluva lot of syntaxes, I'm ashamed to say, to no avail. The
right one just escapes me.
Any hints ?

Perl Sections and Virtual Host
Hello modperlers,
I'm currently banging my head on the walls trying to use Perl sections, in
the httpd.conf file, to configure virtual hosts. The idea is to redirect lots
of 'secondary' domains to URLs on our 'main' website.
Let's say the main website is www.main.org, and secondary domain are
sec.ondary.com and third.dom.com. With a regular Virtual host config, no
sweat (well, it seems so; maybe an Apache expert will tell me I forgot
something big and important :-)
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80
VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80
ServerName sec.ondary.com
RedirectPermanent / http://www.main.org/second/index.phtml
/VirtualHost
VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80
ServerName third.dom.com
RedirectPermanent / http://www.main.org/third/index.phtml
/VirtualHost
Since we have several secondary domains, and lots of URLs to remap in
different ways depending on the secondary domain, I thought going through a
Perl section would be cute. So, dumbly, I wrote this to replace the
VirtualHost sections above (the NameVirtualHost does not change) :
Perl
my $realname = 'http://www.main.org';
my %vnames = ( 'sec.ondary.com' = 'second', 'third.dom.com' = 'third' );
foreach (keys %vnames) {
$VirtualHost{'192.168.1.2:80'} = {
ServerName = $_,
RedirectPermanent = ( ['/', "$realname/$vname{$_}/index.phtml"] )
}
}
/Perl
No way. No errors during the server startup, but also no redirection
whatsoever. Where am I wrong, or what did I forget ?
I'm using
Embedded Perl version 5.00503 for Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21
mod_ssl/2.4.9 OpenSSL/0.9.4
