This all works fine, but one issue I have is running multiple copies. I do this by having two copies of apachectl with different configuration. The problem is, apachectl is really part of the apache install, and so any time it is upgrade, I need to grab a new copy of apachectl and reconfigure the two different versions. In fact, what I do is patch apacheclt by adding:
while [ $# -ne 0 ]
do
case "$1" in
--pidfile=*) PIDFILE=`echo "$1" | sed -e 's/^[^=]*=//'` ;;
--httpd=*) HTTPD=`echo "$1" | sed -e 's/^[^=]*=//'` ;;
--lynx=*) LYNX=`echo "$1" | sed -e 's/^[^=]*=//'` ;;
--statusurl=*) STATUSURL=`echo "$1" | sed -e 's/^[^=]*=//'` ;;
*)
break
;;
esac
shift
done
after the configuration section, and having my own apachectl-live and
apachectl-work that just call apachectl with parameters.
Is there a better way to do this without patching or duplicating apachectl, or alternatively, can I request that apachectl be modified to support receiving parameters so that it doesn't need to be patched?
I use 1.3.x, but I checked the latest 2.x source and it looks like apachectl still doesn't receive parameters, although it has a complex data driven chunk of code to generate the config parameters so adding the above code would require understanding that data driven stuff, presumably not hard for whoever maintains it.
