Multiple virtual host configuration files

[2case]

Currently it seems not possible to setup multiple virtual hosts configuration files. They will overwrite each other. Handling all virtual hosts configurations in one large file is not very organized.

I would also like something like <xi:include href="conf.d/*"/> to load all files in that directory.

Hi there @2case ,

you should be able to use several virtual hosts config files using a slightly different structure within the XML file.
Something along the lines of this:

<virtualHosts>
     <!-- include of virtual host configurations -->
     <xi:include href="conf.d/virtual-hosts-1.xml"/>
     <xi:include href="conf.d/virtual-hosts-2.xml"/>
     <!-- .... -->
</virtualHosts>

With your virtual host configurations only wrapped in a single virtualHost node each.

This might get a little clunky as the wildcard based syntax you would like is not supported by XInclude mechanisms.
We would love to see something like that as well.

Regards,

Bernhard

This is good to know! (and something else to add to the docs.) 😄

I tried that, but the XML Parser did not allowed the xi:include inside the virtualHosts node!

Hehe ^^
One of the reasons we are using XML for configuration is the manifold of tools and functions it offers.
You can use any of these with the appserver configuration so XInclude should work like it does in other XML files.

@2case , oh! Might be we restrict the type of the child nodes, I will check the schema. Sorry about that.

Works as explained above in a local test with appserver version 1.1.0 "Iron Knight".

Example for appserver config in appserver.xml.

<!-- include of virtual host configurations -->
<virtualHosts>
    <xi:include href="conf.d/virtual-hosts-1.xml"/>
    <xi:include href="conf.d/virtual-hosts-2.xml"/>
</virtualHosts>

Example for virtual host configs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<virtualHost xmlns="http://www.appserver.io/appserver" name="test.dev">
    <!-- -->
</virtualHost>

Have a try with the current version. :)

If I have some time, I'll play with this. I already have several virtual hosts set up for testing different things. Since I've started working with appserver, I haven't used any other server stack. LOL! The only thing missing is PHP debugging facilities. Once they are in, I'll be server in heaven! 😃
