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 took your advice and followed the instructions.

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.

If your configuration is right on httpd.conf I think you have to double check your DNS configuration. And review your httpd.conf just to make sure....

Here is a copy of part of the file:

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>

does this help?

My Dns is fine, I just can't get any other page than the default

If your DNS is fine then try this...

<VirtualHost www.diener.us>
ServerAdmin webmaster@diener.us
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/diener
ServerName www.diener.us
ErrorLog /var/logs/httpd/error_log
TransferLog /var/logs/httpd/access_log
</VirtualHost>

This works for me... tail the logs and trace the error....

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!
I used webmin and changed some setting so the file looks like this and it worked!

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/diener.us/_vti_cnf"
ServerName diener.us
</VirtualHost>

I think it worked because I named the virtual host above. Obvious problem, Huh?

I have six other websites now and they are all working. The next problem will be, why they are scrambled. I created them using frontpage, could that be the problem? I will create new pages using a good html editor for linux and try that for a solution. If that will work or any other recommendations please let me know. Thanx again everyone!!!!! I hope this helps someone else.
