Since I got the RAID array working a while back , I decided it was time to move some of our more critical files over onto the array. I began the process last last while I was over at Lucky’s place (for the Enterprise finale). I moved all the home directories over and setup a symbolic link so it would behave correctly (I eventually want to mount the RAID array as the root, but I’m not ready for that yet). Little did I realize that everything was working except Apache. Apache didn’t want to follow the symlink. I thought I had it configured to follow them, but it looks like it was set to follow symlinks once inside the web root. So, I updated the config file to account for that unforseen ‘gotcha’.

After I got that all working, I began thinking about the Apache config file a little more. Right now I am hosting a ton of different domains and subdomains on Gollum (this server). Apache handles this very nicely, but I was wanting to clean things up a bit from how I’m doing them now. So, instead of having all the virtual host definitions in one file, I have them all in separate files that get included by the main file. This allows me to drop new vhosts in quickly, and gives me more readability and space to leave comments on each host.

I’d still like to find some MySQL to Bind interface that would let me keep my zone files in a database …
