Hey guys,

I recall being able to configure vhosts a few years back but now with the slight changes in httpd I've been having a really hard time and getting frustrated. I've tried apache.org and have read docs, did searches on google but still I can't seem to get it right... could someone please help me??

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1>
ServerAdmin saruul@yahoo.com
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/saruul
ServerName saruul.homelinux.com
ErrorLog logs/saruul.homelinux.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/saruul.homelinux-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

These directives just bring me back to my default root directory and not to the one specified

Thanks! ;O)

Try adding

ServerPath /home/httpd/html/saruul

in there and restarting.

Thanks for the amazingly fast reply... I'll try that right now!

I made the suggested changes and still the same thing... goes to the default root directory!

Since you are using 192.168.1.1, I have a hunch that you have only one eth card and hence only one ip address.

If that is the case , you need not use ip based vhosts. Use name based instead, and create and entry each for all vhosts you need, default first.

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName xxx.net
ServerAdmin bob@xxx.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mary.xxx.net
ServerAdmin mary@xxx.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/people/mary/
</VirtualHost>
