Hi
I'm trying to write an AppleScript which will add new virtualhost by name and absolute path.
It works when I try on test files (txt files on desktop) but when I try real files (/private/etc/hosts and /private/etc/apache2/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf) it just does not work.
The problem seems to be somewhere around user permissions, but I have no idea how to open file for writing as administrator. I tried just the way I'm doing 'do shell script' but it does not work (ar probably I'm using incorrect syntax)
My code:
on run (input)
display dialog "New VirtualHost name" default answer ""
set VirtualHostName to text returned of result
display dialog "Absolute path to VirtualHost's root" default answer "/Library/Webserver/Documents"
set VirtualHostRoot to text returned of result
try
set hostsNL to "\n127.0.0.1 " & VirtualHostName
set httpdVhostNL to "\n<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName " & VirtualHostName & ".local
DocumentRoot '" & VirtualHostRoot & "'
ErrorLog '/private/var/log/apache2/" & VirtualHostName & "-error_log'
CustomLog '/private/var/log/apache2/" & VirtualHostName & "-access_log' common </VirtualHost>"
set hosts to open for access (POSIX file "/private/etc/hosts") with write permission
write hostsNL to hosts starting at eof
close access hosts
set httpdVhosts to open for access (POSIX file "/private/etc/apache2/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf") with write permission
write httpdVhostNL to httpdVhosts starting at eof
close access httpdVhosts
do shell script "apachectl graceful" with administrator privileges
return true
on error
try
close access hosts
close access httpdVhosts
end try
return false
end try end run
Or: is there other simlpe way to create virtual hosts?
