Hi, I have a chat application (xmpp / muc) that is going to be served by apache (we might change to nginx later but right now it's not easily done).

Pretty much all of our sites are setup the standard mod_php, apache2, LAMP style with the static media living on the same domain as the dynamic php scripts.

This one has 2 licencse models, GPLv2 and a commercial one with support. On the first view it looks good: the footprint is not too big, it is fast and it has a lot of configuration otions. The most important t...
Hi, I wonder if it's possible for an Apache module to change global config structures. What I want to achieve is injecting new vhosts without Apache restart.
