So having played around with virtual hosting for a while
I felt that I needed something that would make it easier
to add domains. Thus allowing anyone in my team to make
a simple change in a txt file, and not have to change any
configurations.

So I came up with a little virtualhosting.tcl file
The layout is as follows, customize paths as you see fit.

/data/servers/nsshutdown/conf/nsd.tcl (main nsd config)
/data/servers/nsshutdown/conf/virtualhosting.tcl (hosting code)
/data/servers/vhosts/conf/domains/<domain.com> (host names)
/data/servers/vhosts/<domain.com>/<cname>/
logs/
pages/
tcl/

To begin with in the top of nsd.tcl source in the virtualhosting.tcl
and register the domains.

'''nsd.tcl'''

source /data/servers/nsshutdown/conf/virtualhosts.tcl
admin.registerDomains <domain.com> <domains root>

# The hostname and address should be set to actual values.
set hostname nsshutdown.com
set address [[ns_info address]]

----- rest of normal nsd config here.

<domain.com> should be the name of the top level domain your hosting
<domains root> should be the path for the domains server roots
/data/servers/vhosts/<domains root>/<page root>
The cnames are defined in /data/servers/vhosts/conf/domains/<domain.com>
As lines containing
<cname> <page root>

'''virtualhosting.tcl'''

proc admin.getDomains {topLevel} {

# admin.getDomains
# args: top level domain
# return: lists of cname and page root
#
# get all c-class domains for a top level domain
# format of file <cname (without domain)> <page root>

set fh [[open /data/servers/vhosts/conf/domains/$topLevel r]]
set hosts [[read -nonewline $fh]]
close $fh
return [[split $hosts]]
}

proc admin.registerDomains {topLevel base} {

# admin.registerDomains
# args: top level domain, domain base dir containing domain config files
# return: null
# register all sub domains for a top level domain

set directoryfile index.adp,index.html,index.htm,index.xhtml,index.xht,index.php
set basedir /data/servers/vhosts/$base
set domains [[admin.getDomains $topLevel]]
set bindir [[file dirname [ns_info nsd]]]

foreach {host hostname} $domains {

# set up page root and directory files

ns_section "ns/server/${host}"
ns_param pageroot ${basedir}/${host}/pages
ns_param directoryfile $directoryfile
ns_param enabletclpages false

# register server name

ns_section "ns/servers"
ns_param $host "${hostname}.${topLevel}"

# configure nssock to go to registered server

ns_section "ns/module/nssock/servers"
ns_param $host "${hostname}.${topLevel}"
ns_param $host "${hostname}.${topLevel}:80"

# configure adp pages

ns_section "ns/server/${host}/adp"
ns_param map "/*.adp"
ns_param enableexpire false
ns_param enabledebug false

# set up modules for server type
# be carefull several modules are not reusable across
# virtual servers, such as lib php.!

ns_section "ns/server/${host}/modules"
ns_param nslog ${bindir}/nslog.so

# configure seperate access logs for each server

ns_section "ns/server/${host}/module/nslog"
ns_param rolllog true
ns_param rollonsignal true
ns_param rollhour 0
ns_param maxbackup 5
ns_param logreqtime true
ns_param file ${basedir}/${host}/logs/access.log

# configure tcl for server

ns_section "ns/server/$host/tcl"
ns_param autoclose true
ns_param debug false
ns_param nsvbuckets 8
ns_param statlevel 0
ns_param statbuff 100
ns_param library ${basedir}/${host}/tcl
}

}

'''Example usage'''
Create a server for made-up.com, and cname of here.made-up.com

Take the regular nsd.tcl and just set your
server names and ports correctly. Should be a simple change as below
* nsd.tcl

set httpport 80
set httpsport 443

# The hostname and address should be set to actual values.

set hostname made-up.com
set address [[ns_info address]]

set servername "made-up"
set serverdesc "made-up"

# added virtual server config
source /data/servers/made-up/conf/virtualhosts.tcl
admin.registerDomains made-up.com made-up

# rest is normal nsd.tcl or sample-config.tcl that comes with
# aolserver

Set up here.made-up.com
mkdir -p /data/servers/vhosts/conf/domains/
mkdir -p /data/servers/vhosts/made-up/
mkdir -p /data/servers/vhosts/made-up/here/pages
mkdir -p /data/servers/vhosts/made-up/here/logs
mkdir -p /data/servers/vhosts/made-up/here/tcl

echo "here here" >>/data/servers/vhosts/domains/made-up.com

Start up aolsever and hit here.made-up.com
