Managing additional Apache vhosts

If you host other sites on your server that are not managed by moonshine- perhaps they aren’t even Rails sites- you can still manage the vhost for these sites through your Moonshine manifest. For this example, let’s suppose that your Moonshine-managed application is configured for *.domain.com. The following would create a site that answered on blog.domain.com. When you see us using the “00_” prefix below, it’s to ensure that this vhost is checked for a ServerName match before the wildcard vhost. After you add this recipe to your manifest and deploy, you can upload content to the /srv/blog.domain.com directory it creates for you.

def blog_vhost
    file '/srv/blog.domain.com',
      :ensure => :directory,
      :owner => configuration[:user]

    static_vhost = <<-VHOST
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName managegt.com
  ServerAlias blog.domain.com

  DocumentRoot /srv/blog.domain.com
  <Directory /srv/blog.domain.com>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
