Topic: Help restricting access to mediawiki

[dunhill]

it has been a number of years since using Apache so if this is obvious I apologize up front.

I have an ubuntu Server install running the latest Apache. This is all running on a Virtualbox VM.

I have 3 sites configured. 2 of them are set-up with DNS point from the outside world and are working just fine.

when I go to domain1.com and domain2.com the right pages are displayed.
the 3rd host is the default host and when I go to the local ip address 192.168.0.x of the server the correct folder is being displayed.

So all being well I wanted to run MediaWiki on that local default host. limiting access to people who are on the local subnet. Seems easy enough I will change the "allow from all" statement for that virtual to allow from 192.68.0.0/255.255.255.0 and add the deny.

But my issue is the the alias
Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki
is being added to all 3 sites
so domain1.com/mediawiki domain2.com/mediawiki are also displaying the wiki pages.

This alias was added in the /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf by the mediawiki install. The instructions I had were to then go in and uncomment to make it available.

You have to create a default vhost and put the alias in that vhost.
