I need to change my httpd.conf from apache hosted in a shared server. I
need it to be a virtual server, and for that I need to add the
following lines:

PHP Code:

 <VirtualHost *> 
 DocumentRoot /home/totally/public_html 
 ServerAdmin webmas...@mydomain.com 
 ServerName mydomain.com 
 ServerAlias *.mydomain.com 
 User username 
 Group username 
 RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://mydomain.com$1 
 </VirtualHost> 


My host doesn't want to change the file, so, I wolud really appreciate
if someone could help me to change it from php

Thanks

don't believe you can with PHP (never tried it though)

But even if you could edit it, have you the access to to restart the Apache server ? because httpd.conf is only read and implemented on server startup.

Thanks for the help, and no I don't have access to the apache server

What exactly are you trying to do? You already have an entry like that for your site in the httpd.conf file, that is how your site is able to be displayed when somebody types your domain.

You can modify or change certain peices of the virtual host entry using a .htaccess file in the root of your website. Let us know exactly what you want to acheive and we'll tell what to put in the file. Judging by your post, it looks like you want to setup a RedirectMatch, is this correct?

I'm trying to set up a wildcard for the domain, It's like catch-all email, but with the domains. and I don't have access the httpd.conf file directly

I looked at Apache::httpd_conf, but I've never used Perl, And i haven't found any function in PHP so far to do this

If it's just a catch all you should be able to do this from your control panel, not httpd.conf.

Your host is the only one who can set this up for you. If they are unwilling then there really is nothing you can do. It's not just the apache conf file that needs to be modified, your DNS zone file needs to be changed as well.
