Probing to see if people have a good way/tools which people use to manage their apache configuration file(s). we have roughly 50 virtual hosts which are divided into roughly four major applications with each application having some common configuration directives. While copy/paste works, it is easy to get lost in the text files (which virtual host am I in). does anyone
You should put common directives into a separate file and Include[1] them, to avoid repetition.
have a useful utility (I know about webmin) or a way to arrange the files and/or "tricks" other things which greatly ease the management of the files & virtual hosts -- especially when some directives are common between virtual hosts.
Also you should set sane defaults in the Server Context[2].Aside from those general advices, there's also things such as mod_vhost_alias[3][4] and mod_macro[5].
Thank You
