[modcfgldap-devel] (Re-)design - multiple vhosts / server

[Turbo F. <tu...@ba...>]

As described a week or so ago in my 'introduction letter', there's
a problem with multiple vhosts on one server. As it is now, modcfgldap
can only handle ONE vhost on ONE server. This is obviosly wrong, but
easiest to code for...


I'm an ISP. Even though I don't SELL - for money - internet access, I
do offer mail-/web-/shellhosting to friends, family, familys family
and friends family etc. This means that my LDAP database is organized
in such a way that each friend/family have it's own branch in the database:

----- s n i p -----
[papadoc.pts/12]$ ldapsearch -LLL -s one dn | grep ^dn: 2> /dev/null
dn: dc=sundqvist,dc=com
dn: dc=winas,dc=com
dn: dc=intelligence-5,dc=com
dn: dc=bayour,dc=com
dn: dc=gamestudio,dc=com
dn: dc=fredriksson,dc=com
dn: dc=agby,dc=com
dn: dc=bortheiry,dc=com
dn: dc=sahlen,dc=com
dn: dc=vger,dc=com
dn: dc=henriksson,dc=com
----- s n i p -----

Some (or all if need be) might have/want their own vhost - some have registered
domains not showned by the DN, some don't. This naturaly mean that I'd like
THEIR vhost somewhere under THEIR branch...

The idea I'm having (please contribute) is to have ONE object specifying information
about this webserver and 'links' to the actual vhosts.

Example:
'dc=papadoc,dc=bayour,dc=com' is the MAIN branch, where I put everything that
have to do with the actual 'site' (my machines etc), so this is where the main
VHOST object would reside. In this, each of the VHOSTs that's availible for
apache on this server is listed as an RDN:

----- s n i p -----
; below this DN is where I have my DNS
dn: ou=DNS,dc=bayour,dc=com

; this is the main object with links to vhosts
dn: cn=apache,ou=WEB,dc=bayour,dc=com
objectClass: phpQLAdminWebSrv
cn: apache
apacheVHostRDN: cn=testing.bayour.com,ou=WEB,dc=bayour,dc=com
apacheVHostRDN: cn=www.data-akut.se,ou=WEB,dc=bortheiry,dc=com
; ... other stuff that might be of interest about this machine

dn: cn=testing.bayour.com,ou=WEB,dc=bayour,dc=com
objectClass: phpQLAdminWebVHost
cn: testing.bayour.com
webServerName: testing.bayour.com
webServerIP: 192.168.1.4
webServerURL: http://testing.bayour.com/
webServerAdmin: tu...@ba...
webDocumentRoot: /var/www/testing/
webLogError: /var/log/apache/testing-error.log
webLogTransfer: /var/log/apache/testing-trans.log

dn: cn=www.data-akut.se,ou=WEB,dc=bortheiry,dc=com
objectClass: phpQLAdminWebVHost
cn: www.data-akut.se
webServerName: www.data-akut.se
webServerIP: 192.168.1.4
webServerURL: http://www.data-akut.se/
webServerAdmin: [the admin for this vhost]
webDocumentRoot: /var/www/dataakut/
webLogError: /var/log/apache/dataakut-error.log
webLogTransfer: /var/log/apache/dataakut-trans.log
----- s n i p -----


This would be fairly easy to implement in modcfgldap. Any thoughts so far?
