C Program For Making Apache Config Files

In a dev environment, Aaron likes to closely simulate domain structures while working on web projects. This is especially helpful when using the mod_rewrite plugin. In order to use local domains, you must setup Virtual Hosts in Apache and this can become tedious when you work on a lot of projects. This program easily creates an Apache config file based on a standard dev environment.

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ if(argc < 3){ printf("Please include DIR and DOMAIN.\nSyntax: a2new javelin javelin.com\n"); return 0; } char* dir = argv[1]; char* domain = argv[2]; char filename[64]; strcpy(filename, dir); strcat(filename, ".conf"); char config[1000]; strcpy(config, "<VirtualHost *:80>\n"); strcat(config, "\tServerName\tlocal."); strcat(config, domain); strcat(config, "\n\tDocumentRoot\t/var/www/"); strcat(config, dir); strcat(config, "/\n\tErrorLog\t/var/www/logs/"); strcat(config, dir); strcat(config, "_error.log\n"); strcat(config, "\tCustomLog\t/var/www/logs/"); strcat(config, dir); strcat(config, "_access.log combine\n"); strcat(config, "</VirtualHost\n\n"); strcat(config, "<Directory /var/www/"); strcat(config, dir); strcat(config, "/>\n"); strcat(config, "\tOptions\t-Indexes\n"); strcat(config, "\tAllowOverride All\n"); strcat(config, "</Directory>\n"); FILE *file; file = fopen(filename, "w+"); fprintf(file, config); fclose(file); }
