redhat 7.3 apache virtual hosts
 

I am trying to setup virtual hosts using apache in redhat 7.3. All I ever get is the default page. I have read the apache documentation and everything I try still doesn't work. Is there something else that will walk me through it in "see spot run" language? I need to host about 8 web sites. PLEASE Help.

Thanx

(I may have posted in wrong section earlier, NEWBIE!)

Are you using virtual hosts by domain ? eg something.somwhere.com goes to one site something2.somewhere.com goes somewhere else.

All you need to do is specify your virtual hosts in the httpd.conf file.

I just want to host 8 different sites using the same IP number.

These are different .com's and .biz sites (maybe I failed to mention that)

as long as you specify them in your conf file it should work no problem, hold on I will try to paste an example from my conf file..

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123>
ServerName www.yourdomain.com
ServerPath /pathtoserver
DocumentRoot /pathto/webfiles/
</VirtualHost>

I have tried to edit conf file in the past and it never works for me. I continue to get default page. An example would be great!

Thank you for the example, I have tried something similar in an example I found last night, but still got default page.

Thanx for the help, I guess I will try it again and let you know. I must have followed the example incorrectly. I will use your example and try. I will post reply to let you know if I stil cannot get it.

Much Thanx

make sure you restart apache after any changes to the conf file.

# /usr/sbin/apachectl restart

(your apache restart command may vary between distro's)

So what am I not getting! I still only get the default page. I am reading everything I can find and trying everything I read, as much as I can anyway, but still get the default page. I don't want to give up but I am starting to get frustrated to the point of going back to a windows based server. I even installed webmin and keep getting the default page. If someone can help, please do.

i had the same problem when i first started setting up VD in rh8. i got some help from a buddy and we still couldn't get it fixed. i ended up having to start over with the original httpd.conf and did it all by command line. no more making changes in the GUI for me. :tisk: i also assigned an IP to my rh8 system to minimize confusion in the conf file. before i had it obtaining ips automatically. not sure if that was a problem but a few other linux users recommended i do that. good luck.

dienerk,

How about if some fresh eyes could see your httpd.conf file? It might be something relatively easy that you're missing after staring at it for so long.

Maybe this will help, let me know if there is more of the file that you need.

NameVirtualHost 12.345.678.912


<VirtualHost 12.345.678.912:*>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/diener.us
ServerName diener.us
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html
</VirtualHost>

Thanx for the help.

This might not be terribly important, but there's no need to specify a port following your ip address. You could try this:

<VirtualHost 12.345.678.912>

or even this:


NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
