Linux bash script to write to XAMPP vhost and add symbolic link.

xampp.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Format of command: ./xampp.sh new.website.name.com
# arguments: name=virtual adress site
# edited files by script: /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, /etc/hosts

XAMPP_DIR="/opt/lampp" # Youre installation folder
PROJECTS_DIR="/home/alexey/webprojects" # Youre projects folder
#todo: change /home/alexey to variable $HOME, but if run script whit sudo $home = root
PROJECT_DIR="$PROJECTS_DIR/$1"
# Number of expected arguments
EXPECTED_ARGS=1

function modify_vhosts {
	$PROJECT_DIR = $2
	sudo printf "\n<VirtualHost *:80>\n\tServerName $1\n\tDocumentRoot \"$PROJECT_DIR\"\n\t<Directory \"$PROJECT_DIR\">\n\tOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI\n\tAllowOverride All\n\tRequire all granted\n\t</Directory>\n\tErrorLog \"logs/$1-error_log\"\n</VirtualHost>" >> $XAMPP_DIR/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
}

clear
if [ $# -ne $EXPECTED_ARGS ]; then
	echo "Inputed wrong number of arguments"
else
	#Modify vhost file with given url
	modify_vhosts $1 $PROJECT_DIR
	#Modify hosts sistem file
	sudo printf "\n127.0.0.1\t$1\n127.0.0.1\twww.$1" >> /etc/hosts
	#todo: restart server

Hi Akaguny,

I was looking for something like this and I found your script. My project directory is /data/lampp/htdocs

when I execute the the code with sudo it able to change the vhost file and hosts file but can't create project folder. If I execute without sudo it can't do anything.

So for testing I edited the code a little bit

#!/bin/bash
# Format of command: ./xampp.sh new.website.name.com
# arguments: name=virtual adress site
# edited files by script: /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, /etc/hosts

XAMPP_DIR="/opt/lampp" # Youre installation folder
PROJECTS_DIR="/data/lampp/htdocs" # Youre projects folder
#todo: change /home/alexey to variable $HOME, but if run script whit sudo $home = root
PROJECT_DIR="$PROJECTS_DIR/$1"
# Number of expected arguments
EXPECTED_ARGS=1

function modify_vhosts {
	$PROJECT_DIR = $2
	sudo printf "\n<VirtualHost *:80>\n\tServerName $1\n\tDocumentRoot \"$PROJECT_DIR\"\n\t<Directory \"$PROJECT_DIR\">\n\tOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI\n\tAllowOverride All\n\tRequire all granted\n\t</Directory>\n\tErrorLog \"logs/$1-error_log\"\n</VirtualHost>" >> $XAMPP_DIR/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
}

clear

mkdir -p "${PROJECT_DIR}"

chown shahi:shahi -R "${PROJECT_DIR}"

if [ $# -ne $EXPECTED_ARGS ]; then
	echo "Inputed wrong number of arguments"
else
	#Modify vhost file with given url
	modify_vhosts $1 $PROJECT_DIR
	#Modify hosts sistem file
	sudo printf "\n127.0.0.1\t$1\n127.0.0.1\twww.$1" >> /etc/hosts
	#todo: restart server
fi

but still get a warning
./xampp.sh: line 14: /data/lampp/htdocs/newtestsite3.local: Is a directory

Any advice?
Thanks
Shahi

nothing about it, sorry.
maybe ask about it in the original of this fork?
