Re[2]: [users@httpd] If Statements in httpd.conf file is this possible
Hello Joshua,
I am not looking to do URL manipulations. I need to do some stuff in
the httpd.conf file when it starts Apache.
Something like below
if ("/home/sites/home/certs/" = "") {
$proto = 'http';
$portnumber = '5000';
} else {
$proto = 'https';
$portnumber = '5001';
}

No, httpd.conf is not a programming language.
Two alternatives:
1. mod_perl allows essentially arbitrary perl code to be embedded in
httpd.conf. I'd guess it could do something like this.
2. Use a pre-processor like m4 (or even a simple shell script) to
pre-process the httpd.conf and evaluate the conditions.
Joshua.
