Dynamic httpd.conf?

Hi,
has any one used a Dynamic httpd.conf file, I've tried to use a CGI 
on-the-fly generated one but, it didnt work.
It read the code instead of output ie. it didnt run the program.

Has anyone tried this/done this?
Is there a modification I can do?
/ TIA
Jim.

The scripts generate the physical config files (httpd.conf, clients.conf,
whatever.conf), and run httpd -t to verify the proper configuration of these
generated config files.  If httpd -t was successful, apache is restarted.

Just curious -- are your scripts somewhat unrelated to apache and actually
create httpd.conf (or included vhost-type) files etc? Or do you have apache
actually read it`s config from a script output? If so, how? I`m currently
doing the former, but the latter would truly be much better in my opinion.

Thanks...

Hard to say what that person meant by "perl scripts" but the 2 
possibilities are 1) a wrapper script or 2) he's using mod_perl. Either 
way, httpd doesn't execute the program as in your example.

How do you set this up?
  in the  /usr/local/apache/bin/https -f /path/to/perlscript.pl   ???

My problem is that running the script like above, parses the file literally 
(reads the code instead of scripts output).
/Thankful for replies
  Jim.

I use a combination of perl scripts with a mysql backend to automatically
manage and reconfigure my apache servers....

Works wonderfully.

You can use mod_vhost_alias to get a certain level of dynamism.

You can do it with mod_perl and get even more:
