Using korn shell script to append/edit httpd.conf file

Asked by ZSoderquist in KornShell (ksh)

Tags: ksh

I am trying to write a korn shell script to easily create and setup a new website on my server.

I've successfully got it to create all the directories and symbolic links that I want, but I'd also like it to add the required info to the httpd.conf file  and what not but I don't know how to make a ksh script edit a file.

With this script I am able to set the name of the website as well as turn on certain cities as needed for the site. This makes my life alot easier in creating all the necessary directories. After creating the directories I want the script to add the virtual host info to the httpd.conf file, and add the proper stuff to a logrotate script I have, then modify another file to process weblog stats daily. I am not looking for all the code, if you can help me figure out the code to modify the httpd.conf file, then i can probably figure out the rest.

The attached code snippet is what I have so farStart Free Trial
