Dear all experts,

I have a host call "linux9". In dns server, there have alias record

of "linux9" are "webmin" and "www".

I setup a virtual host "webmin" in apache server but I don't

setup "www" in apache server. Unfortunately, In web browser, I

type both "www" and "webmin" can go to same home

page. Is it possible I type "www" show the cannot locate

homepage web page ???

Thanks,

Tommy

Tommy,

Could you post the VirtualHost section from your httpd.conf? If you have www and webmin pointing to the same IP you'll need to use named virtual hosts.

Dear Mike,

My config as follow:


DocumentRoot /usr/libexec/webmin /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ServerName webmin /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
SetEnv WEBMIN_CONFIG /etc/webmin /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
SetEnv WEBMIN_VAR /var/webmin /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
SetEnv SERVER_ROOT /usr/libexec/webmin /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
SetEnv MINISERV_CONFIG /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory "/usr/libexec/webmin">
AuthName "Webmin Restrict Area" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
AuthType Basic /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
AuthUserFile /etc/webmin/htusers /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
require valid-user /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Options ExecCGI /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
DirectoryIndex index.cgi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
</Directory>



thanks

What version of apache are you using?

I don't recognize of the config entries . You may want to try starting apache using the -S parameter to verify the your configuration.

Also, is the above lines contained in a <VirtualHost> tag?

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.31:80>
DocumentRoot /usr/libexec/webmin
ServerName webmin
SetEnv WEBMIN_CONFIG /etc/webmin
SetEnv WEBMIN_VAR /var/webmin
SetEnv SERVER_ROOT /usr/libexec/webmin
SetEnv MINISERV_CONFIG /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
<Directory "/usr/libexec/webmin">
AuthName "Webmin Restrict Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/webmin/htusers
require valid-user
Options ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Ok, that configuration looks fine.

However, it looks like your using IP based virtual hosting which means that it looks at the IP rather than server name. So, any name in your DNS that resolves to that IP will be able to access the home page.

I haven't setup named virtual hosting in awhile but, you might want to check the docs on the apache site. If I remember correctly they have a pretty good section on setting up virtual hosts.

You can use the search and look for virtual host.
