I abandoned using modcfgldap for this very reason :(
This appears to be a limitation set by apache itself and that variable
is not change-able. This behavior also shows up using the mass
VirtualHosting module. I modified apache's source to change this
behavior, and Bad Things Happened.
Because my installation only has apache dealing with a few hundred
VirtualHosts at a time, using this external module turned out to be a
pretty expensive operation compared to using conf files. Even with
caching set to a high value, the dependency on LDAP and and the frequent
queries made it all rather cumbersome. I suspect that if I were
running thousands of vhosts then a module like this would "pay for
itself" by using less memory.
So I ended up deciding to do this in my httpd.conf:
Include vhosts.conf
And I run a script out of cron to generate the vhosts.conf file using
the LDAP data and reload apache if necessary. Works pretty well and is
much more flexible. DocumentRoot is set properly and I can also set
other Apache and PHP variables in the generated file (logfile
directives, open_basedir, temp_dir, include_dir, user and group, etc.)
