Apache help: show website via ip and via url

xmrkite · 09-04-2014, 04:02 PM

Hi, i have a few sites I am testing with on my test server.

I have each site setup and can browse to each one. But I want to make it so that one of them shows up when the ip address itself is typed in.

Is this possible?

ie. mysite1.com and mysite2.com are on the same server. When you type in 192.168.1.100 into chrome/firefox/etc i want mysite1.com to come up.

-Thanks

Is 192.168.1.100 the server IP, if yes set DocumentRoot to mysite1.com root directory in httpd.conf

[edit]
Hmmm, no if virtual host are set

Quote:

When a request is received, the server first maps it to the best matching <VirtualHost> based on the local IP address and port combination only. Non-wildcards have a higher precedence. If no match based on IP and port occurs at all, the "main" server configuration is used.

If multiple virtual hosts contain the best matching IP address and port, the server selects from these virtual hosts the best match based on the requested hostname. If no matching name-based virtual host is found, then the first listed virtual host that matched the IP address will be used. As a consequence, the first listed virtual host for a given IP address and port combination is default virtual host for that IP and port combination.

Maybe set IP in virtual host directive then

Or use wildcards and make sure mysite1.com virtual host is defined before mysite2.com in config

Perfect. Thanks
I changed the /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite1 file to have this at the top:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100:80>

Then I restarted apache and it worked.
