Is there a way to define the value of a VirtualHost DocumentRoot based on the return of a cgi script? 

Let me explain, I want to create a wildcard subdomain VirtualHost such as *.mydomain.com. 

When the client goes on any subdomain, it would automaticly run myscript.pl and then, the perl script would return or define the proper DocumentRoot value. 

Is this achievable on apache ? Perl script is only for example, if you have anything else to propose. 

 

Thank you

wouldn't that just be default page that gets served when server doesn't have a defined virtual host for what was asked for?  From there you can run your script and redirect them to whatever other page you might want by the host header they used to access the default page.

      I have a question on W11. Do VLC Player ( not the Store version ) and QBitorrent work with W11?
    • Splitgate 2 gets a surprise battle royale mode just as the free-to-play game releases

      Splitgate 2 gets a surprise battle royale mode just as the free-to-play game releases by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The highly anticipated arena shooter with portals, Splitgate 2, has just been released across PC and consoles as a free-to-play experience. At the same time, the studio head appeared on the Summer Game Fest showcase's stage today with a surprise reveal, showing off a brand-new battle royale mode that is a part of the game and is also launching today for free. Watch the action-packed trailer above. The sci-fi shooter franchise by 1047 Games has not breached the battle royale space before, but it seems the studio has been working secretly on the project all this time for this surprise reveal and launch. The Splitgate 2 battle royale mode features 60-player showdowns, letting 15 teams, each with four players, compete with each other to be the last squad standing. The map is touted as being an interconnected, gigantic colosseum with five biomes, and players will have to go through massive World Portals to reach each of them and hopefully take down anyone on the other side. "Choose where to drop in across Drought’s scorching desert, Glacier’s slick snowscape, Inferno’s active volcano, or Fracture’s cluster of asteroids," explains the developer. "After landing, players who stay in the match long enough will gain access to a fifth biome – the central area of Sanctum’s foreboding ruins, which offers special, powerful loot for those who can survive sparring to get it." Being a battle royale, there are chests to loot for better armaments, fast-paced action, map events to change up the atmosphere, and plenty of quick action to jump into. Aside from the new mode, with the Splitgate 2 full launch, the studio has delivered four new maps to the arena mode, a fresh map-creating template, as well as the Gravitas Shotgun as a brand-new weapon. It is also working on implementing a ranked mode, even more maps, map reskins, and more content as part of its post-launch support plans. Splitgate 2 is now available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.

      I hate that they have removed settings that we once had, and had them for what feels like forever. Until now.   My desktop icon font are too thin, and too small now in Windows 11 since the last Windows Update. I have been using Winareo Tweaker to set the icon font to bold, and to change the size to a size larger. Now I have to do it twice, loggin out and back in each time, before it finally takes effect on the third time. But wait.... it gets worse. Once the system is shutdown, and turned back on the next day, all of those icon settings are reset to thin, and small.   I see no reason for the previous font customization options we always had now being removed. SO upsetting.   Boo Microsoft. Updates are suppose to be 'better', not removing options we had previously. This is horrible.

      FWIW the Arc browser is now in "Maintenance Mode" with its developers shifting priorities to a new browser paradigm called Dia -- so investing time/effort into Arc is not recommended (even by the developers themselves!)
