Re: Can you tell the path of Apache in httpd.conf?

[marcos <chipcmc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Define one file wiht variables definition, name file examplo =setVarApache.env in  path /tmp

$more setVarApache.env

LOG_PATH=/tmp/example/

LISTENIP=192.168.100.1

NAMESERVER=MyServer

LISTENPORT=82

Now in script to start apache  i charge this file with:

.  /tmp/setVarApache.env

case $ARGV in

stop|restart|graceful)

    $HTTPD -f /opt/apache2/httpd.conf -k $ARGV

    ERROR=$?

    ;;

start|startssl|sslstart|start-SSL)

    $HTTPD -f /opt/apache2/httpd.conf -k start -DSSL

    ERROR=$?

    ;;

configtest)

    $HTTPD -f /opt/apache2/httpd.conf -t

    ERROR=$?

    ;;

status)

    $LYNX $STATUSURL | awk ' /process$/ { print; exit } { print } '

    ;;

fullstatus)

    $LYNX $STATUSURL

    ;;

list)

    $HTTPD -f /opt/apache2/httpd.conf -S 2>&1 | grep namevhost |  awk '{print $4}'

    ;;

*)

    $HTTPD -f /opt/apache2/httpd.conf $ARGV

    ERROR=$?

esac

and in httpd.conf 

     <VirtualHost ${LISTENIP}:${LISTENPORT}>

      ServerName $NAMESERVER

         CustomLog "|/opt/apache2/bin/rotatelogs ${LOG_PATH}/access-${SERVERNAME}.log 86400" wusage

     </VirtualHost>

if you has diferente machines, you can use name of host in name of file:

setEnv_HOSTNAME.env

at this way you can use the same script:

. setVarApache_$(uname -n)

A related question to the one I posted earlier about env variables.

In my httpd.conf, I want to setup some custom error logs for my application, using a statement like this:

ErrorLog "|[apachepath]/bin/rotatelogs.exe -l [apachepath]/logs/error_blah.log 86400"

The problem is that I would have to hardcode the apachepath, which is something I want to avoid (since it may vary on different dev machines).

Is there a way to know what that is?

The only way we have found to do this is to use <Perl> sections with statements like these:

---
       my $path_to_logs = catfile Apache2::ServerUtil::server_root, qw(logs);
       my $path_to_bin = catfile Apache2::ServerUtil::server_root, qw(bin);
---

It works, but I would prefer a solution that does not involve <Perl> sections (since they are harder to read and debug).

Thx.
