Apache Module mod_vhost_alias

Available Languages:  en  |  fr  |  tr 

Description:Provides for dynamically configured mass virtual hosting
Status:Extension
Module Identifier:vhost_alias_module
Source File:mod_vhost_alias.c

Summary

This module creates dynamically configured virtual hosts, by allowing the IP address and/or the Host: header of the HTTP request to be used as part of the pathname to determine what files to serve. This allows for easy use of a huge number of virtual hosts with similar configurations.

Note

If mod_alias or mod_userdir are used for translating URIs to filenames, they will override the directives of mod_vhost_alias described below. For example, the following configuration will map /cgi-bin/script.pl to /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/script.pl in all cases:

ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"
VirtualScriptAlias "/never/found/%0/cgi-bin/"
