Dynamic mass virtual hosts with mod_rewrite This document supplements the mod_rewrite reference documentation. It describes how you can use mod_rewrite to create dynamically configured virtual hosts. mod_rewrite is not the best way to configure virtual hosts. You should first consider the alternatives before resorting to mod_rewrite. See also the "how to avoid mod_rewrite document. Virtual Hosts For Arbitrary Hostnames Description: We want to automatically create a virtual host for every

apxs - APache eXtenSion tool apxs is a tool for building and installing extension modules for the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. This is achieved by building a dynamic shared object (DSO) from one or more source or object files which then can be loaded into the Apache server under runtime via the LoadModule directive from mod_so. So to use this extension mechanism your platform has to support the DSO feature and your Apache httpd binary has to be built with the mod_so module

Starting Apache On Windows, Apache is normally run as a service. For details, see Running Apache as a Service. On Unix, the httpd program is run as a daemon that executes continuously in the background to handle requests. This document describes how to invoke httpd. How Apache Starts If the Listen specified in the configuration file is default of 80 (or any other port below 1024), then it is necessary to have root privileges in order to start apache, so that it can bind to this privileged
