hello,

I've got it working on Windows and RedHat 9.0 but I've no success on Fedora Core1
The HTTPD server is not recognizing my Virtual Host Setup

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.myweb.com
DocumenttRoot /var/www/html/myRoot
</VirtualHost>


I've also tried changing the * to the exact address of my HTTPD Server machine but have no luck.

Please help.

Hello,

I've got it working now. It's a couple of SegFaults again. After investigating the matter, I have recompiled myodbc source with

" --disable-thread-safe "

I've also disabled the ssl feature of Apache/HTTPD server (seems to be working fine now).

I'm building an intranet site.

Virtual Host will allow you to set up different addresses and webroot dir on One machine server.

Say for example, you have a sites called
www.personals.com located in /var/www/html/webpersonal
and another
www.office.com located in /var/www/html/weboffice

each webroot (webpersonal/weboffice) can have their own index files and stuffs - as if two different domains but actually found in one computer.

To successfully set this up -- you need to know some things about DNS and configuring the clients to recognize the DNS Server.

The Star,

Just a Follow-Up.

Setting up a virtual host will allow you to specify different location of a site's webroot path other than the default /var/www/html.

You could set up www.personal.com to path /usr/wwwpersonal
and www.office.com to path /var/www/office

Of course, you have to ensure the permissions are set correctly for apache to be able to access the subdirectory contents.

I haven't tried setting different webroot paths in Linux yet. But, it should work just as it worked for me in Windows.

Thanx for ur reply. Can u suggest any good site or tutorial for this DNS server usage and all ?.

Hello The Star,

There are many docs found at www.linuxdocs.org. I should be a good start for every newbie.

In MS Windows I use a free program called Jana Server (www.janaserver.de) to serve as DNS.
