I have a long and intricate list of <VirtualHost> directives, and I have to duplicate them into separate <VirtualHost> groups for ports 80 and 443 because I'm using SSL. Whenever I update my mod_rewrite rules I have to remember to do it in both places or else I'll break my app... this duplication is asking for trouble. Is there a way to combine or alias these -- the only difference between the two is that the port 443 version contains the SSLEngine, SSLCertificateFile and the like.
My <Virtualhost> contains many mod_rewrite rules, LocationMatch rules, CGI directives, etc.
Also, I can't use .htaccess files.
VirtualHost directive allows you to configure and use multiple sites located on the same IP address. In this case, with *:80 you are creating a virtual host for every request coming on the port 80. It becomes more interesting when you start specializing and start to insert something other than * in the virtual host.
A Virtual Host is an Apache configuration directive that allows you to run more than one website on a single server. With Virtual Hosts, you can specify the site document root (the directory containing the website files), create a separate security policy for each site, use different SSL certificates, and much more.
Can't you use an include directive to include the common rules. here

eg.:
<VirtualHost _default_:80> ... include conf/common_rule.conf </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost _default_:*> ... include conf/common_rule.conf </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost _default_:443> ... #SSL rules include conf/common_rule.conf </VirtualHost>
