Dynamic vhosts

[petervanwesten]

Is this possible and how?

I want to have multiple domains on my local. But want the domains to be resolved automatically according to a certain url. For example:

Al websites are placed in C:\websites\
IE: C:\websites\www.mydomain.com

Next I want all urls that are named like this:
[domainname].local to go to the [domainname] in the website folder.

So:
http://www.mydomain.com.local -> C:\websites\www.mydomain.com
http://www.anothersite.com.local -> C:\websites\www.anothersite.com
http://www.blabla.com.local -> C:\websites\www.blabla.com

So is there a dynamic way to do this, so without having to place all local domains in the httpd-vhosts.conf and hosts file?

Hmmm, tried some stuff... but can't get it to work. All gibberish to me.
If anybody can give me the code to place in what files... please

this works fine if you do this, and i have all sites under htdocs

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName southcoastsupermotards.no-ip.org:80
DocumentRoot "D:/webserver/xampp/htdocs/southcoastsupermotards.no-ip.org"
<Directory "D:/webserver/xampp/htdocs/southcoastsupermotards.no-ip.org">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
#Options All
#AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName southcoastsupermotards.no-ip.org:80
DocumentRoot "D:/webserver/xampp/htdocs/ghoststar.no-ip.org"
<Directory "D:/webserver/xampp/htdocs/ghoststar.no-ip.org">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
#Options All
#AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

putt this in vhost file in extras and after that run apache -S and restart apache and it will work

change my host to yours

I don't think this is the solution to my question. Here you placed two domeins in the vhost file. So I'm guessing this allows you to view these two locally. But I don't want to have to define all domains here. But do that dynamically.

I might be misunderstanding you....

yes I think your question is not understood properly..

As far as I have been able to figure things out, it looks like you will need to set up Virtual Domains, That is as Dynamic as you can get with Apache, or any other web server that I am aware of.. If you can set domains up dynamic I can see a huge traffic jam on the net, we would all want to do it.

I think it can be done by a rewrite rule.

something like this (only I can't make it work):

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^local\.(.*)
RewriteRule (/.*) D:/websites/%1/www/$1 [L]
