[users@httpd] Use of environment variables in configuration files?
Hello World,
Is it possible to environment variables such as the domain name being
access to adaptable Apache configuration.
Such as
Alias /documents /home/www/domain.com.au/documents
Where domain.com.au could be replaced depending on what domain name
was accessed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Not in general, since most apache directives are resolved at
start-time, not at request time. But in that particular case, you can
use mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/documents /home/www/%{SERVER_NAME}/documents
(You probably want to assure that UseCanonicalName is set On in this
case to avoid bad things happening when people supply arbitrary Host
headers.)
