Hi guys,
I'm detecting a behaviour I'm not expecting and I'd like some clarification with Apache 2.4.25 on Windows 10 x64 (httpd-2.4.25-win64-VC14.zip from ApacheLounge).
I've defined a "main" server config in httpd.conf:
| Code: |
...
ServerName www.my-default-site.com:80
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\info\Web\default"
<Directory "C:\Users\info\Web\default">
...
|
This works as expected on its own: every request gets a response from this site, whatever the domain is.
But then I add this to httpd.conf:
| Code: | | Include conf/vhosts/*.conf |
Said folders has one file: miaazienda.conf
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName miaazienda.com
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\info\Web\miaazienda"
<Directory "C:\Users\info\Web\miaazienda">
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
|
Expected behaviour
The expected behaviour is this:
* http://miaazienda.com gets handled by the virtualhost
* http://every-other-domain.com gets handled by the default config in httpd.conf
This is the expected behaviour because the comment in httpd.conf clearly states so:
| Quote: |
# 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.
|
Actual behaviour
I **always** get a response from the virtualhost, both for the miaazienda.com domain and for every other undefined virtualhost.
If I create a second virtualhost file (miosito.conf) to handle http://miosito.com => http://miosito.com gets handled by the new vhost, but every other undefined virtualhost still get handled by miaazienda.com (the first vhost).
If I create a last virtualhost as aaaa.conf => boom, new "catch-all" for the undefined domain!
So.... either I'm missing something or the comment in httpd.conf is wrong and the httpd.conf config always gets overridden by the first (in alphabetic order) vhost file.
I already found a working solution (Include conf/vhosts/default.conf before Include conf/vhosts/*.conf in httpd.conf) but still, I'd like to understand what's going on here.
Thanks! |

1st vhost
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\info\Web\default"
</VirtualHost>
That's all you need, this will pick up everything not specified in any vhost section including http://your-ip-address. Your miaazienda.com vhost however will be work as should. When you go to main site www.my-default-site.com you will see what you expect.
Leave the stuff in httpd.conf, it grants access with the global scope <Directory>.

@glsmith thanks man, it works like a charm!
Still: this is on-vhost configuration: the "main" config (DocumentRoot+Directory) in httpd.conf continues to be ignored. Other than wrapping **it** into a <VirtualHost _default_:80> block, is there any other way to have **it** the default? |

It is the default, like I said, go to http://your-ip-address and you will get the "main/default" site. It's the default.
Edit: Yes, once you set a single vhost the global us ignored. How it works and has worked in the 20 years I've been using Apache.
I have my default host set to just a page that says "there is no site at this address"

That's the anomaly I'm reporting! as I stated, the comment above the main config in httpd.conf reads:
| Quote: | # The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition. |
That's simply not true because, as you confirmed, it's the <VirtualHost _default_:80> one who responds. |
