Re: ISPMan and mod_vhs

Hello Scott,

Yes, i have considered it. 
Perhaps I have not read enough on it but it seems that it only give
you the home directory of the vhost.

This is similar to using mod_vhostalias that maps the vhost address to
a certain directory.
It is interesting if you can sacrifice definiing different options on
each vhost.

It makes sense for mass-hosting. For example at my employer we host
around 20k domains (1 vhost per domain). Each vhost had its own file.
This means that each apache process would load 2 + 20000 files using
around 5 - 9MB just to load the configuration.

We moved from that case to a mod_vhostalias setup and now the startup
etc is extremely fast and the response is quiet fast too. We did have
to give up some flexibility of having each vhost its own
configuration.

For example: I cannot open/close php/cgi per domain. I have to do it globally.
Also there is no DOCUMENT_ROOT etc per vhost. Just one global
DOCUMENT_ROOT. Since most customers are only using PHP, there are some
hacks (pre loading a php file) that setup the environment variables.

Another issue with mod_vhostalias is vhost aliasing. The only way we
could now do aliaseing is with setting up symlinks to the directory.

Please hack around a bit more with this module and I will consider
including support for it as an option.

best regards
Atif
