Description Max 2008-06-07 21:39:41 UTC

Right now, you can use filename wildcards for the Include directive, like so:

Include /home/mcantor/projects/someproject/etc/*.conf

However, it would be Really Cool if you could glob directories as well as files, like so:

Include /home/mcantor/projects/*/etc/*.conf

This would allow seamless additions of new web apps requiring configuration files.

Many thanks for this. Need it so that i can have truly portable sites that can be moved from server to server with a child directory structure like:

example.com
-conf
--httpd.conf
-logs
-htdocs

What is the process for proposing this feature for inclusion?

Comment 3 Stefan Fritsch 2011-06-15 22:34:03 UTC

This is implemented in trunk

Comment 4 William A. Rowe Jr. 2011-09-15 14:24:50 UTC

As noted, this is fixed in trunk and is available as 2.3-beta.
