[SOLVED] Bash script to Automate the Virtual Host creation process!!

anishkumarv · 03-14-2011, 02:11 PM

Hi all,

This is my sample code in /etc/httpd/conf.d/applications.conf file currently we are creating subdomain mannually for every new subdomain. I want to automate this process througs bash script , how its possible.

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName google.com
ServerAlias google.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/google"
<Directory "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/google">
DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
JkOptions +ForwardURICompat
JkMount /google* ajp13
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 5
RewriteLog logs/internal_rewrite_log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/google/.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png|css|js)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /google/$1 [L,PT]
</VirtualHost>

In this code which i marked BOLD that content only we'l change for every subdomain. while manually doing this most of the times errors are coming to avoid that i need to automate this process. please guide me to write the script for this...

Thanks and Regards
V.Anish Kumar.

All you need to look up is how to pass a variable to a script (ie:

Code:

makeNewHost google.com

getting the "google.com" inside the script)

You can then refer to this easily inside the script as follows:

Code:

echo JkMount /${HOST}* ajp13
echo RewriteEngine On

Hope this helps,

Give the script the domain name as argument and redirect output to a configuration file:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
[ $# -ne 1 ] && exit 1 || DOMAINNAME="$1"
cat << EOF
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ${DOMAINNAME}
ServerAlias ${DOMAINNAME}
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/${DOMAINNAME//\.*/}"
<Directory "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/${DOMAINNAME//\.*/}">
 DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>
JkOptions +ForwardURICompat
JkMount /${DOMAINNAME//\.*/}* ajp13
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 5
RewriteLog logs/internal_rewrite_log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/${DOMAINNAME//\.*/}/.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png|css|js)
RewriteRule ^(.*)\$ /google/\$1 [L,PT]
</VirtualHost>
EOF
exit 0

Code:

#!/bin/sh


while [ ! -z "$1" ]
do
        NAME="$1"
        cat <<EOF
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ${NAME}.com
ServerAlias ${NAME}.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/${NAME}"
<Directory "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/${NAME}">
DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
JkOptions +ForwardURICompat
JkMount /${NAME}* ajp13
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 5
RewriteLog logs/internal_rewrite_log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/${NAME}/.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png|css|js)
RewriteRule ^(.*)\$ /${NAME}/\$1 [L,PT]
</VirtualHost>

EOF
        shift
done

Code:

$ ./automate.sh fleeb garbl braak
