Force ISPC3 to update apache2 vhost files

[archerjd]

I am working with the latest SVN of ISPC3 and wanted to know if there is a way to force ISPConfig to update/rewrite all of apache2's vhost files.

The thing is, I have been configuring ISPC3 on Debian Lenny.
I know I know, not a good idea. But I am using mod_gnutls with it and so far everything works out well. Even so, when configuring the system with a little tweak here a little tweak there the change doesn't take effect right away.

To give you an idea of what I have done here, I have modified the /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/vhost.conf.master file to make use of mod_gnutls. Below is a diff of the file.

I would also like to add the following code to enable WebDAV for clients that have an ssl cert and FTP access.
Alias /webdav <tmpl_var name='document_root'>
<Location />
DAV On
AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthMySQL On
AuthName "WebDAV Authering Service"
AuthType Basic
Auth_MySQL_Host localhost
Auth_MySQL_User ispconfig
Auth_MySQL_Password ispconfig_password # No variable found for this as of yet.

AuthMySQL_Password_Table ftp_user
Auth_MySQL_Username_Field username

Auth_MySQL_Authoritative On
Auth_MySQL_Password_Clause " AND active=y"
<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
require group <tmpl_var name='system_group'>

</Location>

But that is beside the point.

Thanks guys,

You can not force a rewrite of all vhost files. If you want to rewrite the config for a site, edit the site settings, change a value and click on save.

Thanks Till,
From your description my config should have already updated and it's not.
Can you give me some pointers to start looking for what caused this issue? :confused:

I have checked the ISPC log and have found it empty. Is there a way to enable verbose logging for ISPC3?

Also, since ISPC3 has the ability to apply additional apache directives, does ISPC3 do an 'apache2ctl -t' check before applying the configuration?
If not, should this be a feature request to parse the output of 'apache2ctl -t' before reloading Apache2 and notify you of the (error)s?

Just a few thoughts...

Is there a way to enable verbose logging for ISPC3?

You can set the log level in the file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/config.inc.php

[quentusrex]

Till, Is there a way to add a 'custom lines' setting so that when a vhost file is rebuilt that the custom lines are included? Like a certain client would have svn and trac settings in the vhost file.

Quentusrex,

Could you be talking about the additional Apache directives option under Sites -> Domain -> $website -> Options -> Apache directives?

BTW, I think I may have stumbled upon a possible bug.
When I insert the following code ISPC3 chokes on it (no updates to the vhost file). But if I place the code in a file and then use the 'Include /path/to/file' directive everything works.

<IfModule mpm_itk_module>

The above code works well. :D
Now if mpm-peruser was just a little easier to install...
