 |
|
After *finally* getting Apache up and running on the machine that I want, I decided to try my hand at creating multiple websites (i.e. creating virtual hosts). After reading the manual, I have httpd.conf configured so that my server will respond to the different sites.
What my question is is what do I need to configure so that if someone accesses website A they will get website A's homepage; but if they access website B, they will get website B's homepage? I have the documentRoot directives set to each sites respective folder; "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/A" for website A, and "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/B" for website B.
So far all that I am accessing is the default page that I set with directoryindex.
p.s. I want to thank everyone for the great help so far. Its great to be able to log onto my website at work knowing that I have the server at home.  |

you have to configure that in the vhost containers.
| Code: |
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/A"
ServerName www.example.com
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/B"
ServerName www.example.org
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>

Thanks, its like I thought. What I did was configure the virtual host containers the way that I wanted them, but I wasn't accessing the pages that I wanted to access.
The reason for that I found out is that the directory index directive becomes global once I set up virtual hosts. So while everytime I tried to access a site, I was getting the global default page since Apache couldn't find anything in the virtual containers that matched what the directory index index said to look for. The solution I did was to name the default pages for each site index.html in their respective htdocs folder.
Another Problem solved.  |
