Topic: Unable to set subdomains in Apache 2.4

[cinciala]

I have spent literally hours trying to find a working solution for setting up a subdomain for my Apache server. Unfortunately nothing has worked for me, so I would like to ask for a help here.

Here is my setting:

(1) I have two virtual hosts defined in httpd-vhosts.conf: domain1.com and domain2.com. Included NameVirtualHost *:80 both into httpd-vhosts.conf and httpd.conf.

(2) Settings in httpd-vhosts.conf:

You are not telling which Apache version you use. Prior to 2.3.11, NameVirtualHost was required. Missing your default virtual host.

This works here:

Thanks!

Apache version is 2.4 - shown in the subject line of this topic.

Will test this and let you know.

Sorry overlooked it.

Steffen,

Maybe a stupid question, but what exactly does the first virtual host do? (father = default virtualhost?)

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName father
ServerAlias localhost
ServerAlias 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot d:/web/unknown
</VirtualHost>

In addition to those hosts, I have also configured virtual hosts for localhost (e.g. domain1_com.localhost). I assume I should update their configuration acc. to your suggestion, right?

[Steffen]

The default catches for example when your site is accessed by its IP address, localhost , an unknown sub domain etc. Father is just a name, so I see the accesses in the logs. And in DocumentRoot d:/web/unknown I have an index.html.

Tested, but got his:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

for all domains and subdomain.

Any other suggestions?

The problem is the lag of the <Directory> block for the document roots.

example for apache 2.2 http://pastebin.com/t5t4gxjq

if you use 2.4 you have to use

James Blond: Bingo, that worked!!!

You saved my life, thank you very much.
