[SOLVED] Apache2 - Virtual Host redirect problem with multiple domains

Now everything resolves correctly. You can flush your dns to check, or you can wait until dns changes are propagated
You also need to clear your browser cache.

@robertjinx
There is no need for a default "website". It's the first vhost defined in sites-available/default. See the output of "apache2 -S"

You dont need ServerAlias for this.

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 DocumentRoot [where the documentroot is set in httpd.conf]
 ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

and thats it.

Doing that throws up all this after /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

[ OK ]

I've changed it back to how it was before without the additional host

Bathory : Did I change my DNS on Fasthosts correctly then ? Its still the same after Restart and Browser cache clear. I should wait a few hours for the DNS to propagate you recon ?

Thanks for help

Kevin

Strange, but ok.

We can now put this to SOLVED !!!!

Suddenly it's working

now when i goto example2.com it goes straight to www.example2.com

Thing it may have been to do with the DNS Records on Fasthosts.co.uk server having the additional ip address with no www prefix on it.

Thank you bathory for all your help and robertjinx for your suggestion.

Thank you bathory for all your help and robertjinx for your suggestion.

It is fully working now as I have just successfully transfered both websites to a new Ubuntu Server from Ubuntu desktop and managed to move both Wordpress databases too and all working perfectly.

Thanks again.
