How do I use a custom variable in an If-Else statement inside an Apache config?












0














Here's my code (I've commented out the if-else part as it's not working)



snippets/contents of my config files



/etc/httpd/conf.d/staff.vhost



Define host_domain "staff"

Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/stage_template.vhost


/etc/httpd/conf.d/stage_template.vhost



    #<If "${host_domain} == 'main'">
# ServerAlias stage.myhost.com
#</If>
#<Else>
ServerAlias stage-${host_domain}.myhost.com
#</Else>


${host_domain} can have 3 possible values: main or staff or customer



I have tried:





  • ${host_domain}: I get this error



    AH00526: Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/stage_template.vhost: Cannot parse condition clause: syntax error, unexpected T_OP_STR_EQ, expecting '('




  • %{host_domain}: I get another error



    AH00526: Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/stage_template.vhost:
    Cannot parse condition clause: Parse error near '%'




Thanks!
