Apache/Virtual Hosts Help

C-Squared · 07-15-2003, 01:08 PM

I use my RedHat 9 system to do webdesign. I access all the pages as "localhost/~user", "localhost/~anotheruser", etc. I want to use virtual hosts to access it as "site1.localhost", etc. I edited my httpd.conf to try and set them up, but it's not working. When I uncomment "NameVirtual Host *" and restart apache, I get the error "Mixing * ports and non * ports with a namevirtualhost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results".

Putting <virtualhost>...</virtualhost> tags does nothing, presumably bcause of this error. Also, trying to access "http://localhost" resulats in a "host not found" error"

There are 2 options I think I need to adjust: UseCanonicalName [On/Off], and NameVirtualHost *, but I'm not entirely sure. Any help is appreciated.

What that message means is that you cannot mix IP based virtualhosts with name-based ones.

how about something like

Code:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName    site1.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot    /var/www/site1/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName      site2.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot    /var/www/site2/
</VirtualHost>

DocumentRoot    /var/www/site2/
</VirtualHost>

That was giving me the error.

That is a snippet in my apache 2.0.46 config file and it works like a charm for me, so your conf error is caused elsewhere. Post ( or post a link to ) your entire httpd.conf

You cannot specify a generic servername outside your virtualhost container when you have NameVirtualHosts.

ServerName 127.0.0.1 should be removed/commented out.

It still does it

Could you post a link to your httpd.conf, so I could compare the two?

Thanks for the help so far.

I added my eth1 IP to the VirtualHost and added all the ServerNames to the /etc/hosts

/etc/hosts

Code:

192.168.1.101           vertige

httpd.conf

Code:

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.101:80

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.101:80>
    ServerAdmin root@localhost
    DocumentRoot /home/www/vertige/vertige.in
    ServerName vertige.in
    ServerAlias www.vertige.in
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/vertige/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog /home/www/vertige/logs/vertige.in-error_log
    CustomLog /home/www/vertige/logs/vertige.in-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

The best way would be to create an internal DNS, but I am to lazy.

I'm fairly new to this myself, however I was able to resolve that error on my own machine by adding a ':80' to the end of NameVirtualHost *(NameVirtualHost *:80). This line should enabled and not commented. The reason for this has something to do with SSL's inability to work with virtual hosts.

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *>
#directives...
</VirtualHost>

#additional virtual hosts...
