Hi there
I have 2 sites up on a virtual host .

My domains has A records for mail and www

when someone accesses mail.domain2.com it goes to domain1 root ..

How do I stop mail.domain1.com to access the http server .

Here is my conf of apache

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin lawrence.mcdonald@domain1.com
ServerName www.domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/virt1
ServerAlias domain1.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/domain1_err_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/domain1_access_log" common
UseCanonicalName off
<directory /var/www/htdocs/virt1>
allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin lawrence.mcdonald@domain1.com
ServerName www.domain2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/virt2
ServerAlias domain2.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/domain2_err_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/domain2-access_log" common
UseCanonicalName on
<directory /var/www/htdocs/virt2>
allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>

Does it work without these ServerAlias directives (comment them and restart apache)

@Cedrik

I commented alias out

Now mail and domain2.com goes to domain1.com

And www.domain1.com works as expected

Back to the drawing board

Maybe comment out UseCanonicalName lines as well, but I think it is a dns issue

@Cedrik

Commenting out canonical changed nothing


Lawrence

Your ServerName should be domain1.com
ServerAlias should be www.domain1.com

@dgrames

Swopped the name and aliases and
domain1.com is right and domain2.com
but mail.domain2 still ends up at domain1.com

try changing NameVirtualHost *:80
to NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.50:80

does bind have a separate ip for mail.domain1.com

what does your httpd.conf have for the server name

I'd definetly would set UseCanonialName to on on both vhosts. This makes for more robust self created URL's.
The Alias definition is just mere convenience which way you set it. Should'nt matter at all.

But like Cedric said check the DNS entries to see where those are pointing.
Don't read above but start here.
You don't have a configuration for mail.domain2.com so the server "redirects" to the default vhost which is domain1.com! Add an alias for mail inside domain2 and you'll be set.

@zhjim

Thank you added another alias mail

That works , Thank you

Is there anyway that I can block access to mail and not www

Regards

Lawrence

Remove mail alias and create an extra vhost for that domain then deny acces like this

inside the documentRoot configuration

@zhjim

Thank you

Regards
