           Summary: Feature Request: Add "VirtualAlias" directive.
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_vhost_alias
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mjb@debian.org


In the rare situation where a single DocumentRoot is used for a large number of
domains, it would be nice to have the ability to Alias in some domain specific
data..

A good example would be a wiki site, where each wiki has the hostname
'wikiname.domain.com' (so, a DNS A record of *.domain.com maybe), but each wiki
may  well have different skins/images/data/etc.

So, something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ...
    DocumentRoot /data/wikisoftware
    VirtualAlias /skins /data/wikidata/%1/skins
    VirtualAlias /images /data/wikidata/%1/images
</VirtualHost>

I guess what would also be useful for this module would be
Virtual{Custom,Error,Transfer,...}Log as well..

------- Additional Comments From slive@apache.org  2006-08-04 03:23 -------
VirtualAlias can be easily replicated with mod_rewrite, and I suspect is too
site-specific to want to make more broadly available.

Logging by hostname would not be easy to impliment in apache httpd because of
the way logging works (all logfiles opened at start-time by root then
descriptors passed to children).  In any case, it is much more efficient to log
to one file and split out later (or using a piped-logging script if necessary).
