Module: mod_evhost

.. meta::
:keywords: lighttpd, virtual hosting

.. contents:: Table of Contents

Description ===========

mod_evhost builds the document-root based on a pattern which contains
wildcards. Those wildcards can represent parts of the submitted hostname

::

%% => % sign
  %0 => domain name + tld
  %1 => tld
  %2 => domain name without tld
  %3 => subdomain 1 name
  %4 => subdomain 2 name

evhost.path-pattern = "/home/www/servers/%3/pages/"

Options =======

evhost.path-pattern
pattern with wildcards to be replace to build a documentroot

Samples =======

User vhosts
------------

::

$HTTP["host"] =~ "users\.example\.org" {
      evhost.path-pattern = "/home/%4/public_html/" 
  }

http://johndoe.users.example.org/ => /home/johndoe/public_html/

---

server.document-root = "/home/user/sites/"

(/home/user/sites/index.html = fall back page)

evhost.path-pattern = "/home/user/sites/%0/site/"

if example.org is requested, and if /home/user/sites/example.org/site/ is found that becomes the docroot

if example.net is requested and is not found in /home/user/sites/ then the docroot remains as /home/user/sites/(index.html)

--

More examples please?

Is there a variable for the entire FQDN? since %0-5 break the domain name down into its individual components, it's hard to setup generic hosting so that sub.domain.com subsub.sub.domain.com other.sub.domain.com can all be created without multiple entries.

This also breaks for .co.uk domain names where %0 = co.uk and %2 = co, which is clearly not what's considered the "domain name" of the url. We need a variable containing the full domain name.
