The only viable option would be storing , vhost directive in a
DB , but i really have not found any one in the industry that has
tried this method. I was able to find a workaround for storing vhost
in DB (
http://develobert.blogspot.com/2007/12/database-storage-of-apache-virtual.html
).
But the thing with this every time a small change to the DB i have to
restart / graceful restart Apache.
You have to restart when you make changes anyway...
For Lighthttpd there is a MySQL-virtual-hosting module available .(
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs#Optionsformod_mysql_vhost-Mysqlvirtualhostingmodule ) But
i cannot find any such module for Apache 2.2.8. <http://2.2.8.> ...
and ideas here ??
Also storing vhsot in separate conf file is OK for couple of hundred
domains, but for a web hosting company having 1000 + domains on each
server , i guess separate file cause problem in, 1) editing the
separate files through scripts 2) graceful restart would also create a
problem on the server
