mod_vhost_alias
Posted by jermen (213.195.xx.xx) on Thu 23 Feb 2006 at 13:22
Other way how to do this is use mod_vhost_alias and directive VirtualDocumentRoot, for example:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
UseCanonicalName off
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1/%-3
</VirtualHost>
Now you can use /var/www/mydomain.com/whatever as a content for whatever.mydomain.com.

Main disadvantage is variable DocumentRoot which is taken from main configuration and it can be problem with some sites. It's also afaik impossible to log for each domain separately (only way is parse logfiles later).
