Thanks for the info noddl. As the If crud is still around I think it's worth having the ability to define the parameters in custom configs. For example if I want to include default ssl.conf in my config without mucking with startup scripts or default ssl.conf itself per node, wouldn't it really make the life easy? also easy upgrades by just including the default config in your host specific configs. If I can define SSL in my custom config it will be really easy for me to enable SSL on required nodes only.
I tend not to agree here. I find IfDefine and IfModule pointless once I've decided how my server should behave. Also, it makes life hard on the freenode #apache channel when people's configs are littered with IfDefine (and even worse, !IfDefine) statements and the users don't know where or how the -D flags are set. Gentoo's config is terrible for this, but perhaps you'd like it :-) You could also take a look at mod_macro. It allows for variables of sorts and macro expansion in the config file. http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/mod_macro/ -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
