Re: Vhosts + mod_perl
Well, you certainly haven't inconvenience yourself by taking the
time to look at the copious documentation available on this, now
have you?
That said, here's a snippet of what you want to use:
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.10
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.10>
ServerName www.logsoft.com
ServerAlias logsoft.com
ServerAlias www2.logsoft.com
DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs
Options +ExecCGI +Indexes
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlFreshRestart On
PerlHandler Foo:Bar
PerlSetVar SOME_VAR /usr/local/foo
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
hth,
<Steve>

I'm successfully using with my ADSL connection:
NameVirtualHost 0.0.0.0
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0>
ServerName vhost.something.here
...
</VirtualHost>

Some are, but this one isn't. This is also off-topic since these aren't
mod_perl questions.

Actually, it's possible to create a wildcard domain so that
*.trains.ath.cx will resolve identically.
If you choose to do this you no longer have to update DNS for new hosts
but run the risk of people getting inappropriate errors when using a
hostname that shouldn't exist. Instead of getting 'no such host' they'll
end up with a valid IP and will hit your web server which then has to
decide how to handle it.
As an example, your zone file can look just as follows - I've split www
and vhosts onto separate IP addresses but this isn't required, as you can
mix named and wildcard entries fairly freely. If you use tools such as
dnslint you may need to append a comment on the end of your wildcard line
to indicate to dnslint that the wildcard is intentional.
(header fluff)
;; 'real' host
www IN A 123.123.123.1
vhost IN A 123.123.123.2
ftp CNAME www.trains.ath.cx.
;; everything else.
* CNAME vhost.trains.ath.cx.

If you are adding sub-domains then, of course, you need to update your DNS.
Without a corresponding DNS entry, how could "foo.trains.ath.cx" ever be
resolved?

Hi Marius,
Everytime I make a new document root for a different website, say the
subdomain loco on trains.ath.cx, do I need to update the DNS?
For foo.trains.ath.cx and bar.trains.ath.cx do I need to make new DNS
entries for foo and bar subdomains? Surely I don't? Because browsers
will ask for it, and get directed to trains.ath.cx, and my apache will
take are of the rest from the HTTP 1.1 Host: field?
Thanks :)
Cheers,
James

specifying '*' as the argument of NameVirtualHost it's a new feature as of
Apache version 1.3.13. It's quite tricky to use it in complex configuration
(multiple listening ports/ip addresses) but it is really very powerful :)
cheers.

Now, how did I know I was going to get flamed?? :/
Anyway thanks for the example. Some manuals are too hard to read, you
have to be a goddamn PhD to read some of them out there to untangle the
mess of cross references and incomplete examples. :/
But, with that e.g. that uses an IP address, from day to day I don't
know what my IP address will be, can't I use:
NameVirtualHost fred.trains.ath.cx
<VirtualHost fred>
... foo
</VirtualHost>
?
Thanks and all.
