Hi,

I run Apache 2.x on a FC 2 box and host some virtual hosts.
I have some problems with the Main Server and the virtual host configuration.
For explanation i will call the server name www.domain1.com and 2 virtual host server names www.domain2.com and www.domain3.com.
When i enter www.domain1.com in my Internet browser, the apache server will use the Document Root from www.domain2.com and
if i remove www.domain2.com it will took www.domain3.com Document Root
The virtual hosts are working all fine.
Where lies the problem

thank you in advance!

Have you set a default virtual server for the main server before all the others?

No i did not.
Shouldn't i get an error message 40x instead of the server is choosing a random DirectroyRoot if there is no default virtual host Directive?

No, it won't give an error, nor will it choose a random DirectoryRoot. The first VirtualHost listed is the default.

The following is from the Apache 2.0 documentation:Enjoy!

Thank you for your response!

My first virtual host in the httpd.conf is now the main server www.domain1.com and after that i have an "Include vhosts/*.conf", so all virtual hosts has got it's own config file, but my problem is still there. The web server is still loading the first *.conf file which he finds in the vhosts directory.

Is it a good idea to rename the mainservers ServerName to localhost and just work with virtual hosts?

I am having the same problem, runnign fc2. could you tell me what resolved it for you?

I'm having a similar problem as well:

I'm trying to set up 3 Virtual hosts in my local intranet: "www.linux", "chris.linux" and "wolfgang.linux".
As soon as I try to access any of them, I end up in the first one (www.linux).

Here is my vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin didi@didi-site.de
ServerName www.linux
ServerAlias www.linux *.www.linux
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin didi@didi-site.de
ServerName chris.linux
ServerAlias chris.linux *.chris.linux
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/chris
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin wolfgang.rueprich@kinderarzt-saalkreis.de
ServerName wolfgang.linux
ServerAlias wolfgang.linux *.wolfgang.linux
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/wolfgang
</VirtualHost>

Does Apache have permission to access
/srv/www/htdocs/chris
/srv/www/htdocs/wolfgang

By default permission is denied on all folders, so try this

Also folders /chris and /wolfgang should be world readable

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin didi@didi-site.de
ServerName www.linux
ServerAlias www.linux *.www.linux
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin didi@didi-site.de
ServerName chris.linux
ServerAlias chris.linux *.chris.linux
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/chris
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/chris">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin wolfgang.rueprich@kinderarzt-saalkreis.de
ServerName wolfgang.linux
ServerAlias wolfgang.linux *.wolfgang.linux
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/wolfgang
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/wolfgang">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

In my apache setting i only use the:
<VirtualHost *:80> for the default virtual host and for the remaining virtual host i the one ip address for all the remaining virtualHost.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
DocumentRoot /www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
DocumentRoot /www/html
</virtualHost>

As far as I know it does: These 2 folders are subfolders in www.linux and are accessable with www.linux/chris and www.linux/wolfgang

I also tried your version of vhosts.conf and it doesn't work for me.....

didi86,

what are your url's? I used 3 from no-ip.com. if i used port 80 only one of them worked, and it was the first one no matter what order. if i put them all on different ports ( i.e. 81 82 83, then they all worked correctly). and if i put it back to all on port 80 then back to only the first working. so the big question is are you using a redirector?
