A question about setting up 1000s of directories under Apache Doc Root

2004-01-23, 5:33 am

Hello
I have a web server. People subscribe
once they subscribe they get a website at
www.mydomain.com/thiername

I am looking for suggestion on how to scale this. I may have up to
20,000 difference subscribers on one domain. Are there tricks i can do
in apache so they can have an www.mydomain.com/thiername URL, but the
albsolute Path is different
ie...
1) sub1
ABS = /home/users/sub1
URL = www.mydomain.com/sub1
2) sub2
ABS = /home/users_xx/sub2
URL = www.mydomain.com/sub2

Now i know i could manually enter each directory in the httpd.conf
file but that is not what i am looking for
I hope this makes sense

Thanks

Mass-defining VirtualHosting or UserDirectories. See the documentation.
