Adding new virtual hosts over and over again can be a pain in the a**, so I wrote a simple bash script witch allows you to easily generate new virtual hosts and makes your life a little less miserable. Script is user friendly and prompts user for needed data with dialog boxes. It add virtual host settings to your Apache httpd.conf file, create virtual FTP user (mysql or file) and if you wish, MySQL user with database. Script was developed on FreeBSD 8.0. To be able to use this script you will also need Apache HTTP server, MySQL (optional) and Pure-FTPd. It is also recommended that you have phpMyAdmin on your system, so users can access their databases via their browsers. If you’re interested, read this fully!
At beginning you must define global variables that script needs in order to operate properly. You must also add follwing line to your Apache configuration file – httpd.conf: ‘Include /path/to/your/hosts-conf-files/*.conf’. This is the path where your template files will be stored in (/usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/). Of corse, you must replace /path/to/your/hosts-conf-files/ with real path that you want to defined as your template path. You must also define this path in global variables (TEMPLATEPATH) so that script can create two template files (virtual-hosts.conf and virtual-hosts-directory.conf). Those two template files will contain your virtualhosts settings. If you will use mysql database to store your virtual FTP users, you must define insert sql statement according to your pure-ftpd database (check line 69). My database may be different than one on your system. So download this script and add it to the sbin directory (/usr/local/sbin – on freebsd). Then chmod it with: chmod 700 /path/to/script/addvirtualhost. Now you can simple call this script with command addvirtualhost. Run it and follow the steps.
That’s it! Enjoy! Write a comment here if you wish ;)

#### Script was developed on FreeBSD 8.0 by Igor Mazej – www.mazej.net
# This script was designed so that it will make your life a little less miserable.
# Don’t forget to change variables compatible to your system and needs.
####
# Virtualhosts are added to virtual-host.conf and virtual-hosts-directory.conf files. Those files are template files and are included in httpd.conf.
# If you don’t have this files, than you must create one.
# Add line ‘Include /path/to/your/hosts-conf-files/*.conf’ to your httpd.conf file (change path to location where your template files are).
####
# This script is designed for Pure-FTPd server. If you will use mysql to store your
# virtual users, than you must change insert statement to your needs. My mysql database for pureftpd can be diferent than yours.
# If you will use pureftpd.passwd file to store your virtual users, define path to file in global variables.
####
# Add this script to your sbin folder and chmod it to 700. Type addvirtualhost to run script.
