Apache Module Include Config about webmin

[swelljoe]

This is not a "newer Apache systems" thing. It is specific to some operating systems (FreeBSD, I believe does it the way you suggest; Debian has an included directory for VirtualHost configuration, and RHEL/CentOS/Fedora use a single file; none are newer or older, it's just the way the OS developers wanted to do things)...all have been supported by Virtualmin and Webmin for some time. Visit the Apache Module Config page. The fields are labeled "File or directory to add virtual servers to" and "Filename pattern for virtual servers" (the latter is only useful for the directory style layout).

Oh, I'm using MacOSX which is based off of BSD in some way, so I guess that's why. I changed File or directory to add virtual servers to /server/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and it doesn't show the virtual servers in that file, I verified that's the file by cat and I tried extra/httpd-vhosts.conf. Any help?

[swelljoe]

It won't move existing VirtualHost sections in the httpd.conf (Webmin never makes those kinds of dramatic changes automatically). You'll need to either delete and recreate them, or move them manually, first.

[GRMrGecko]

I guess I'll just copy paste the config into the main one, but I expected for it to see that it's including config from another config file and have an area to edit that config file.

[swelljoe]

Well, there is ("Edit Config Files" has a dropdown list of configuration files available for editing where you can directly edit the vhosts.conf file, if you were so inclined), but that's not related to Webmin knowing to store VirtualHost sections in that file. Webmin lists all VirtualHosts that it knows about, regardless of where they appear, and it doesn't treat them differently based on what file they're stored in; and, of course, it saves them back where they originally were when editing them. This is a feature, not a bug. ;-)

Well thanks for the help, sorry if I caused you any trouble. I know how it is being a developer.

[swelljoe]

No trouble. That's what I'm here for. (And Jamie's the developer, mostly. I just stand around and look pretty most of the time.)
