Script to add wildcard for 100 domain

I'm not sure in terms of how to write a script that edits the actual files in Unix. Is there a way to manually do it through cPanel? Cause you could then write something using php/curl and a while loop to go through and do it quite a few times.

 

Is there a way to manually do 1 entry in cpanel? If so let me know how to do that and I might be able to whip something together for you.

I'm fully aware that you do not want to manually enter these. I just want to see how to manually enter 1 IN CPANEL (to see how it works) and I'll see what I can do.

 

Well, I'm definetely not a Good Programmer, but I can hack my way through tasks like this using a variety of online documentation, tutorials, and examples.

I won't even begin to start writing this for you, but will try and point you in the right direction.
Sounds like you will need a Bash or similar script, so you should start looking here.

You would also need a while loop to read a file line by line... I believe I have used this one before, because it's Bookmarked..

And I would likely use sed make the changes to the files as necessary...
ex: sed s/searchstring/replacestring/

I highly suggest making copies of the files you plan to edit and test thoroughly on them before working on a live file.

Then don't forget to restart bind and httpd when done.

And one last thing, httpd.conf is a really ugly file due to the way CPanel writes and appends to the file, so be very careful with your search string when using sed. You could easily bust Apache quickly. And DON'T FORGET TO KEEP BACKUPS....


Good Luck
