I have my virtual host configuration files in conf/virtualconf/ directory with .conf extention. I want to pass the NameVirtualHost value in httpd.conf file to the <VirtualHost "ip"> directive given in each .conf file.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

really don't follow... normally these days the main httpd.conf references another directory, like /etc/httpd/conf.d/ which contains seperate individual files which are all loaded into the main config. is that not what you're really after?

Thanks for quick reply. In my main httpd.conf file i have the entry "NameVirtualHost <ip>". In my virtual configuration files also I have put the <ip> in the VirtualHost directive.

So what i want is a way to put the main "NameVirtualHost <ip>" as a variable and call it in side virtual host conf files.

Ex: in httpd.conf ==> NameVirtualHost 192.168.10.1

in all virtual host conf files ==><VirtualHost $NameVirtualHost>

This way when i am replicating theses to another server (having a different IP address I don't want to change the IPs in each individual conf file.

there's no such thing without doing some sort of preprocessing of your own. can you not just use a * instead of the ip address?

Addning * always return the default site (first one).

acid_kewpie, what did you mean by "sort of preprocessing"?

thanks.

preprocessing...

cat myhttpd.conf | sed /__IPADDRESS__/192.168.0.1/g > /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

and if * isn't working, you're not configuring it correctly...
