Apache & VirtualHost

nIMBVS · 10-27-2004, 08:32 AM

I installed Slackware 10 and I want to have 2 virtualhosts on my coomputer.

I give you the settings in httpd.conf wich I thinks are relevant to my problem.

Code:

ServerName server.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html
    UserDir disabled root
</IfModule>

NameVirtualHost 11.22.33.44:80

<VirtualHost 11.22.33.44:80>
    ServerAdmin blah@server.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/server2
    ServerName server2
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache/server2_error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache/server2_access_log combined
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</VirtualHost>

Now when I access server.com through my browser it shows the page from server2 and the URL in the browser remains the same (http://server.com). server2 works corectly (when I access http://server2 with my browser the corect page is displayed).

The settings in the DNS are correct. "host server2" gives me the corect IP and host server.com gives the same IP.

What gives? Is the apache wich comes with Slackware broken?

I would recommend doing this: Get rid of "ServerName" at the top of your httpd.conf, or make it generic (i.e. something not useful to you). Now, make a VirtualHost entry (and a NameVirtualHost, if its on a different IP address) for server.com. What I'm saying is make your definition of "server.com" an explicit virtualhost directive-- just as you are doing with server2. And no, that Apache compile with Slackware most likely isn't broken.

Yes, Thank you, I did what you told me and it works.
