debian lenny - all virtual hosts lead to first virtual host

rantastic · 04-21-2010, 10:19 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue with setting up the virtual hosts on my web server. I have 2 virtual hosts (example1.com, example2.com). example1.com works but example2.com is sent to the index file of example1.com. I did some searching on google and it seems the problem might be with my /etc/hosts file.

First virtual host that the second is also directed to...in sites-available/sites-enabled (note port 80 is blocked by my isp so I use 8080)

Code:

#
#  example1.com (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.example.com)
#
<VirtualHost *:8080>
        ServerAdmin billjohnston4@gmail.com
        ServerName  example1.com
        ServerAlias example1.com *.example1.com

        # Indexes + Directory Root.
        DirectoryIndex index.html
        DocumentRoot /var/www/example1.com/htdocs/

        # CGI Directory
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/example1.com/cgi-bin/
        <Location /cgi-bin>
                Options +ExecCGI
        </Location>


        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog  /var/www/example1.com/logs/error.log
        CustomLog /var/www/example1.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Second virtual host file

Code:

#
#  example2.com (/etc/apache2/sites-available/example2.com)
#
<VirtualHost *:8080>
        ServerAdmin billjohnston4@gmail.com
        ServerName  example2.com
        ServerAlias example2.com *.example2.com

        # Indexes + Directory Root.
        DirectoryIndex index.html
        DocumentRoot /var/www/example2.com/htdocs/

        # CGI Directory
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/example2.com/cgi-bin/
        <Location /cgi-bin>
                Options +ExecCGI
        </Location>


        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog  /var/www/example2.com/logs/error.log
        CustomLog /var/www/example2.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

and my hosts file

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain           localhost
192.168.1.1     server1.example2.com  server1

127.0.0.1       example2.com
127.0.0.1       example1.com

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Also I'm using a dyndns.org...would that make a difference?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Bill

Specify the dyndns name in the configs also.

So it turns out it was a completely different problem having to do with web forwards and the dynamic dns. My virtual host set up worked as is when I fixed the forwards.

Sorry for the trouble.
