Topic: virtual host does not resolve to mutliple websites

[buffy97ok]

The way i understand, name based hosts should display content from the appropriate subdirectory specified in the virtual host file. however the following configuration does not reslut in the intended action.

DocumentRoot C:/HostedSites/technoarts.sytes.net/site/web
<Directory C:/HostedSites/technoarts.sytes.net/site/web>

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.90:85


<VirtualHost 192.168.0.90:85>
ServerName technoarts.sytes.net
DocumentRoot C:/HostedSites/technoarts.sytes.net/site/web
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.90:85>
ServerName crazyfun.sytes.net
DocumentRoot C:/HostedSites/crazyfun.sytes.net/site/web
</VirtualHost>

All host names resolve to the document root directory i.e., technoarts.sytes.net, outside the virtual host directive.

please help

dear mr. bond:

Thanks for the response.
currently vhost direcives are included at the end of the httpd.conf file. I have tweaked the httpd code in many many ways with absolutely no effect whatsoever. The application just ignores the vhost segment and displays content from the main server documentroot directory for all name based hosts.

If i am not mistaken vhost directive effectively overrides the main server documentroot directory and subsequently retrieves files from the vhost documentroot directory. the only other point to note is the dummy host container code in the begining of the vhost.conf file. i have categorically excluded those lines of code.


Syntactically there are no errors since command prompt execution of both httpd -t and httpd -S result in the display of "syntax OK" message.
So what could I be doing wrong?

once again thanks for spending time with this configuration problem.

Well to check also the vhost config use httpd -S

Please post your config at pastebin so we can take a look at it.

hi again:

i would really appreciate if you can let me know what area of the configuration file is not being implemented properly. I am somewhat certain that a slight modification is what is needed.

totally lost as to why host names are not resolving to the appropriate vhost directed files. windows/....../etc/hosts file has the following entries

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 technoarts.sytes.net
127.0.0.1 crazyfun.sytes.net
127.0.0.1 webhostingcompany.sytes.net
127.0.0.1 manoj.servegame.com
127.0.0.1 venshargroup.sytes.net

Please help.....

Admin note:

The whole config removed, see the forum rules.
And follow the advise from James to use the pastebin link.

[James Blond]

The admin removed your config..... cause of the forum rules that's why I told you to post it at pastebin.com ...

sorry no link enclosed because having trouble registering at the pastebin site.

thanks for all the assistance being given at this site.....

the windows system host file entry was the antagonist.

local host is 127.0.0.1...however name based hosts are linked to the ip address of the dedicated web server in the LAN not 127.0.0.1.

perhaps httpd documentation and knowledge base should further elaborate this subject.

Be that as it may with much appreciation we close this transaction and sign off.
