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.

    • Dead By Daylight and three more games join Xbox Free Play Days this weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dead By Daylight and three more games join Xbox Free Play Days this weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe As the weekend approaches, Microsoft has brought along another Free Play Days promotion for Game Pass subscribers to jump into. This time, Dead by Daylight, Headbangers: Rhythm Royale, Trailmakers, and Synduality Echo of Ada are all available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Standard, and Core members for no extra cost. As always, any progress made during the weekend also carries over automatically if you decide to purchase a game afterward. From the four games available, Dead by Daylight should be the most familiar to most gamers. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. Next, Headbangers: Rhythm Royale lands as a light-hearted, rhythm-based battle royale game. Up to 30 players can be in a single round, all represented as pigeons, before various mini-games involving increasingly difficult rhythm challenges get thrown at the group. The last remaining pigeon becomes the "Master Headbanger." Meanwhile, Trailmakers is a popular sandbox experience where you and your friends construct physics-based vehicles. A wide range of modular parts are offered for making these vehicles, with an exploration element also adding more options to search for. Adventure, sandbox, and racing modes arrive as options for playing either solo or in multiplayer. Lastly, the Synduality Echo of Ada is a sci-fi extraction shooter experience where you control mechs as you search for loot while fighting AI and other players. Here are the store links for the announced titles and their supported platforms: Dead by Daylight - $11.99 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Headbangers: Rhythm Royale - $3.99 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Trailmakers - $14.99 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada - $29.99 (Xbox Series X|S) This Free Play Days promotion will end on Sunday, June 22, at 11:59 pm PT. Following this, expect another round of games to enter the program next Thursday, June 26.

      I'm not simping, I'm telling it how it is. This is the norm and has been forever. Profits need to keep growing, it doesn't matter if you are valued at a trillion or a million. As long as you are part of public trading that's the name of the game. If it's cheaper for the company to outsource, they will, and you'll get laid off. Welcome to capitalism 101. Like I said, the problem is the system itself.
