Topic: virtual hosts apache windows resolve locally but not externa

[leecooper2013]

hi my virtual host resolve locally but but not externally only the first container seems to be active.
My windows host file reads as follows and DNS is set to forward to my ip

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
127.0.0.1 aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
127.0.0.1 www.guildwebsites.co.uk
127.0.0.1 guildwebsites.co.uk
127.0.0.1 www.defenderofaszune.guildwebsites.co.uk
127.0.0.1 defenderofaszune.guildwebsites.co.uk

My Httpd reads

# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

and my virtual host file reads as follows

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>
DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/aacomputersandconsoles" #only this directory is active externally all web addresses end up in this directory
ServerName www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/guildwebsites"
ServerName www.guildwebsites.co.uk
ServerAlias *.guildwebsites.co.uk

</VirtualHost>

Any ideas why these only resolve locally and why only the first container is active externally as i have spent hours working on this problem.

Thanks in advance

By externally I assume you mean other computers on the LAN. Since you're not using DNS, each external computer also has to have those in a host file but pointing to the servers LAN IP.

[leecooper2013]

my dns for both domains point to my enternal ip address my router is configured to forward port 80 to my computer on the lan.

[leecooper2013]

correction dns record with the domain name provider points to my external ip address.

[glsmith]

Are you sure port 80 is not blocked by Virgin?
Do you see a 68.7.xxx.x being blocked in your routers log?

[leecooper2013]

port 80 is definately not blocked by virgin as i can access http://www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk index page ok from outside the lan

[leecooper2013]

but if you access http://www.guildwebsites.co.uk it reverts to http://www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk index page

[leecooper2013]

apache was disabled

[glsmith]

ok, what is the main hosts document root in httpd.conf
It was timing out when I tried but I see you now
A A Computers and Consoles

[leecooper2013]

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp/htdocs"

that is the entire httpd.conf file

Moderator's Edit: the rest of the entire conf file

[glsmith]

OK, this is breaking my brain but it is way past my bedtime. in your OP you are showing Xampp on Windows
DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/aacomputersandconsoles"

But when your site answers, here is what I am seeing in the headers.

You're running xampp behind a proxy it looks to me. If this is the case, your problem lies there.

[leecooper2013]

im new to all this how can i tell if it running behind a proxy? and how to i sort it if that is the case?

[leecooper2013]

i just tried http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test and it states im not behind a proxy

[leecooper2013]

Also if I swap the container in vhosts file you get guildwebsites index instead of aa computers

[leecooper2013]

was suggested that my modem/router wasnt http 1.1 compliant

Also if i click admin from Xampp control panel it takes me to aa computers and consoles page rather than the admin page

[glsmith]

Sorry, had to get a few hours sleep.

In the name based virtual hosting docs there is an oddly worded paragraph about the first vhost needing to be a duplicate of the main host. Since yours is
c:/xampp/htdocs, try as the first one

<VirtialHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
</VirtialHost>

[leecooper2013]

no problem, I appreciate all your help.
added the default host and still no joy at all.
I'm assuming you meant to put it in Httpd-Vhost file??

Regards

Lee

I must ask, did you restart the server after you made the change? You would be amazed how many do not.

Someone looking for Shellshock, I've yet to see one of these in my logs.

One other thing

DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/aacomputersandconsoles" #only this directory is active externally all web addresses end up in this directory

Do not add comments after directives, use the line above. Apache looks at the first non-whitespace character for the # to decide if it's a comment line or not. This can (not saying in your case) cause problems.
