Re: Automatic Virtual Hosts

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

I believe the Apache docs have what you're looking for:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/mass.html

of for 1.3.x

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/mass.html

(It's pretty much the same for both versions, I think.)

Basically, it allows you to setup Apache to answer requests for pretty
much any domain that comes at it, assuming a directory exists under that
name in its configured virtual host root.  It just makes mass virtual
hosting easier by allowing you to forget about the Apache part of
Virtual setup--you then only need to add a domain name to your name
server, a directory (with appropriate permissions and dir structure),
and handle mail or whatever else you need to do.  It also allows Apache
to startup faster than if it has hundreds or thousands of virts
configured within the httpd_conf file.
