    I've recently decided that I'm sick of writing config files by hand, and I'm looking for a nice web based panel for me to manage my websites with.

    At the moment, ISPconfig appears to be the most suitable for this task. But before i start using it, i would like to know more about it's inner workings.

    I'm currently trying to decipher the contents of vhost.conf.master

    I've setup a placeholder site "example.com" (with ssl enabled as well) and the config file (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.com.vhost) came out like this

    Code:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/web
    
      ServerName example.com
      ServerAlias www.example.com www.example.com
      ServerAdmin [email protected]
    
      ErrorLog /var/clients/client1/web1/log/error.log
    
            ErrorDocument 400 /error/invalidSyntax.html
            ErrorDocument 401 /error/authorizationRequired.html
            ErrorDocument 403 /error/forbidden.html
            ErrorDocument 404 /error/fileNotFound.html
            ErrorDocument 405 /error/methodNotAllowed.html
            ErrorDocument 500 /error/internalServerError.html
            ErrorDocument 503 /error/overloaded.html
    
      <Directory /var/www/example.com/web>
          Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
          AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
          Order allow,deny

      #php_admin_value open_basedir /var/clients/client1/web1:/usr/share/php5
    
    
    </VirtualHost>
    </IfModule>
    
    

    Could someone perhaps explain a bit more about all the possible config file outputs, because all the conditional <tmpl_if>....</tmpl_if> statements are very confusing to me.

    ISPConfig doesn't write to the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory.
    I don't seem to understand your question.

    This is somewhat true. /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ contains symlinks to files in /etc/apache2/sites-available which are written there by the code in "apache2_plugin.inc.php"

    Are you talking about ISPConfig 2 or 3?

    I'm referring to ISPConfig 3.0.0.7 on Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)

    The conditional if's correspond directly to the options that are available in the ispconfig web interface for the website. For example if there is a conditional if for ssi, it corresponds to the checkbox ssi in the website settings. For the details what the different apache directives do you might want to take a look at the apache documentation:

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/

    I know what you mean, but that's not what I'm asking.

    I was referring to "<tmpl_if name='*'>", NOT "<IfModule mod_*.c>"

    Since no one has answered or for that matter understood my question, let me ask a more simple one.

    In how are variables such as "system_group" in<tmpl_var name='system_group'> defined, and how could I write a config file like the output of ispconfig by hand.

    And I was talking about the <tmpl_if name='*'>, so I answered your questions already. Take a look at the website settings and you will see that the they correspond to the conditional if staements.

    The variables are defined in the apache plugin in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/
