    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.

    Hi,

    Can n e 1 help me.
    The details for the issue is as follows:

    I have a file which contains 100 domains :
    and then I need to add a line for the wild characters for each domain in the file httpd.conf and named.conf

    In httpd.conf I want to append a line next to ServerAlias ( *.domainname )
    In named.conf I want to append a line *.domainname A ....

    Please help me with the script.

    Thanks

    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.

    Thanks wsenter,

    Ok, we need to open the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and the search for the domain which is present in /etc/domain.txt , after finding the virtual host entry for that domain, we need to go to ServAlias section and then append the word *.domainname and then same goes for /etc/named.conf file we need to find the entry for the domain, then go to that particular domainname.db file and append a A record which looks like *.domainname A ....

    I hope I'm clear to you, if you can show me some sample codes to do this task, I can then try to tune it.

    C yaa

    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.
    http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

    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..
    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/bash-read-entire-file-line-in-for-loop-240016/

    And I would likely use sed make the changes to the files as necessary...
    ex: sed s/searchstring/replacestring/
    My Bookmark for sed info..
    http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

    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
    Cliff
