I am trying to configure an apache server using mod_wsgi for dynamic mass hosting. Each user will have it’s own instance of a python application located in /mnt/data/www/domains/[user_name] and there will be a vhost.map telling me which domain maps to each user’s directory (the directory will have the same name as the user). What i do not know is how to write the WSGIScriptAliasMatch line so that it also takes the path from the vhost.map file.
What i want to do is something like this: I can have on my server different domains like http://www.virgilbalibanu.com or virgil.balibanu.com and flaviu.balibanu.com where each domain would belog to another user, the user name having no neccesary connection to the domain name. I want to do this beacuse a user, wehn he makes an acoount receives something like virgil.mydomain.com but if he has his own domain he can change it later to that, for example http://www.virgilbalibanu.ro, and this way I would only need to chenage the line in the vhost.map file
So far I have something like this:

Alias /media/ /mnt/data/www/iitcms/media/
#all media is taken from here

RewriteEngine on

RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower

# define the map file
RewriteMap vhost txt:/mnt/data/www/domains/vhost.map

#this does not work either, can;t say why atm
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/uploads/
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}} ^(.+)$
RewriteCond ${vhost:%1} ^(/.*)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ %1/media/uploads/$1

#---> this I have no ideea how i could do
WSGIScriptAliasMatch ^([^/]+) /mnt/data/www/domains/$1/apache/django.wsgi

<Directory "/mnt/data/www/domains">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<DirectoryMatch ^/mnt/data/www/domains/([^/]+)/apache>
  AllowOverride None 
  Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</DirectoryMatch>

<Directory /mnt/data/www/iitcms/media>
  AllowOverride None
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews 
  Order allow,deny 
  Allow from all 
</Directory>

<DirectoryMatch ^/mnt/data/www/domains/([^/]+)/media/uploads>
  AllowOverride None
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews 
  Order allow,deny 
  Allow from all 
</DirectoryMatch>

I know the part i did with mod_rewrite doesn’t work, couldn’t really say why not but that’s not as important so far, I am curious how could i write the WSGIScriptAliasMatch line so that to accomplish my objective.
I would be very grateful for any help, or any other ideas related to how i can deal with this. Also it would be great if I’d manage to get each site to run in wsgi daemon mode, thou that is not as important.

Thanks,
Virgil
