I am using WinME and Apache 1.3.28 It works fine,
but will only look at one site. This is depseration after three solid weeks of begging for help. Is there anyone out there.

I have 3 sites to test locally but Apache will only see the one first listed in VirtualHosts. I even renamed my web folders with the web address /site1 became
/www.site1.com so that links from one web site would correctly find the other - but no - always tries to go to the internet.

I beg your help, please!
************************
This is the only unhashed line in my hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost http://www.loire-style.com http://www.french-style.co.uk http://www.wizardwonky.com

I have also tried it as hosts.sam
They both sit in the main Windows/ folder
I have also tried them in Windows/system32 and Windows/system32/drivers and Windows/system I have tried it with and without localhosts. It appears to me that Apache is ignoring these files as it always opens to
whichever VirtualHost is listed first in the httpd.conf file.

When I start Apache I get two messages:
VirtualHost overlap on Port 80. The first has precedence.
If I drop the Port 80 it suggests I need a NameVirtualHost directive

This is the relevant bit of my httpd.conf file

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName http://www.loire-style.co.uk
ServerAdmin jon@herefordshire.com
DocumentRoot "C:/My Documents/webs/style/www.loire-style.com"
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
Options All MultiViews
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/My
Documents/webs/style/www.loire-style.com/cgi-bin"
<Directory /webs/style/www.loire-style.com/cgi-bin>

Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin jon@herefordshire.com
DocumentRoot "C:/My Documents/webs/style/www.french-style.co.uk"

<VirtualHost *:80>

Hello jon,

I also use WinME and Apache 1.3+ (I use Apache 2 on Linux). I will just copy a few things off my own settings for the following and include some relevant info below:

hosts.sam - If you want to view your 'development' site, e.g. www.wizardwonky.com , that's inside your PC, this file has to be renamed to HOSTS; preferably before you start your browser. My copy has always been inside c:\windows.

Backup your existing httpd.conf file and try these settings instead (where appropriate):

I hope that will work for you

n.b. NEVER include your email address inside a forum message if you don't want the spambots to harvest it and start sending you spam! Always use a fake one in your example posts e.g. jon@example.com.

I want to ask something:
Will above virtual hosts work on LAN? my http://www.eric.kg and http://www.test.kg on my computer are working but if then queried from other computers on my LAN (proxy in FreeBSD, i add 192.168.3.8 http://www.eric.kg
192.168.3.8 http://www.test.kg )
They show the same thing.
Please help me.Thank you.

Hello eRIC,

I have absolutely NO experience in Networking or how it works, so I am unable to help you with your issue at the moment. <-- That's the bad news

The OK news is that there might be someone, someday, who will find this thread and possibly offer you a solution.

You can't see them on your local network since your local network sens the "virtual host name" of 192.168.3.8 or whatever the IP is. If yuo try to browse to the DNS names they won't work. There are 2 possible solutions. Have your own DNS server that knows your host names and forwards them to your server so that your browser sends the proper "virtual host name" or check your hosts file and add those entries to your hosts file


Just to explain what I was trying to say, virtual names work based on the browser telling your server what web page it's trying to access (say www.apache.org). when Apache recieves "192.168.3.8" as a host name it doesn't recognize it and so just forwards it to the first or default virtualhost. You can't separate which page you want by virtual names unless you're sending a proper name.

hope this helps, I'm not absolutely sure this is the question you're asking but I thought I'd give my 2 cents.

Thank you. You spent your time for my trouble, thanks a lot.
But in my mind i have some questions, what would you give me as a advise in my problem? Should i use ip based virtual hosts?
example: 192.168.3.8 for http://www.eric.kg and 192.168.3.9 for http://www.test.kg OR use different ports for virtual hosts, but in some cases firewalls don't permit other ports (in our university is like this).
But how it works on other servers? Big servers as a ICQ,....( some our local servers uses virtualhosts) or they use something else?

I will be glad if you write some lines.
Thanks

Taken from here:
A cute name which stuck. Apache is "A PAtCHy server". It was based on some existing code and a series of "patch files".
