Apache2 virtual host problem

harzu · #1 05-Mar-2007, 13:14

I have Centos and Apache 2. I am trying to make 2 domains to work on one IP address using name based. This doesn't work. Only first domain works. I change them around, so problem is not there.

I googled and found that some have same problem but no answer. So, I am asking your help my friends!

I found solution to this problem. New apache version requires in virtual host tag domain name not ip addr.
Like this:
<VirtualHost www.mydomain.info:80>

I have th same problem but adding the virtual host domain name did not fix it.....any other ideas please?
(win XP Pro).
running httpd -S says I have 4 vhosts set up, but only the default ever gets served. using name based on a dynamic IP, but all hosts are DNS'd and can be pinged....
tried everything....

Sorry peterhenley, I am no expert in this. I use Centos Linux, very good, recommend it. This however may not resolve your problem

Your problem sounds odd. Maybe if you could post your httpd.conf file here. Starting from virtual host part. Then me or someone could compare it and find solution or not.

Otherwise I got nothing

Seems like a directory problem I think...but I have tried every combination. I always only get the default served up.
Do you know where each directive should go (virtual vs the main config file?)

Thanks for helping out !!!!!
how do I post the files?
virtual one pasted below:

Code:

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>

I see the problem my friend

DO IT LIKE THIS <VirtualHost http://www.peterhenley.com:80>
NOT LIKE THIS

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin peter@peterhenley.com
    DocumentRoot /www/pshenley
    ServerName pshenley.com
    ServerAlias www.pshenley.com
    ErrorLog logs/pshenley.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/pshenley.com-access_log common
<Directory "C:/www/pshenley">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
<IfModule dir_module>
  DirectoryIndex pshenley.htm
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Try to change all of them like that. Hope it works then. Let me know. If they don't, we try something else

peterhenley · #7 12-Mar-2007, 15:38

Nope, if I do that, I get on web page:

Index of /
carolinehenley/
henleyfamily/
peterhenley/
pshenley/
Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) Server at mywebhopserver.peterhenley.com Port 2300

and no page not even default one.....

that's why I think it's a directory + virtual host problem...

peterhenley · #8 12-Mar-2007, 16:28

dumb question:
does Windows XP Pro allow multiple hosts??????

harzu · #9 13-Mar-2007, 10:58

These are my virtual hosts and they work. Try to use it like this and for now don't put other things in there. Hope this helps.

Code:

# Virtual host myaddrr1
<VirtualHost www.myaddrr1.info:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@myaddrr2.info
ServerName www.myaddrr1.info
ServerAlias myaddrr1.info *.myaddrr1.info
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1/
LogLevel debug
HostNameLookups off
</VirtualHost>

#Virtual host myaddrr2
<VirtualHost www.myaddrr2.info:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@myaddrr2.info
ServerName www.myaddrr2.info
ServerAlias myaddrr2.info *.myaddrr2.info
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site2/
LogLevel debug
HostNameLookups off
</VirtualHost>

peterhenley · #10 13-Mar-2007, 12:23

Duh, I figured out my problem - not a vhosts issue! Because my hosts are redirected from port 80 to another (my ISP blocks 80), the actual name of servers Apache should be looking for is.......servername = mywebhopserver.pshenley.com, not pshenley.com, etc.
Strangely, the default http://www.peterhenley.com, does not need this change...
Thanks for your input!
