Topic: Vhost :: Wrong webpage is showing up, why?

[skper12]

Hi guys, I'm very new to Apache.

I have at least 4 domain names. 2 .com's and 2 .ca's.
Whenever I type at the URL sample4.ca, the other webpage will show up- the wrong page with www.sample1.com. But, when I type the whole address www.sample4.ca, it's the right webpage will show up.

I don't want the wrong webpages to show up whenever I type the right domain name/webpage.
Why is that? What did I do wrong in my config file?

Here's my httpd.conf file

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/skper"
ServerName www.sample1.ca
ErrorLog logs/sample1.ca-error_log
CustomLog logs/sample1.ca-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/epephotos"
ServerName www.sample2.com
ErrorLog logs/sample2.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/sample2.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/jesr"
ServerName www.sample3.com
ErrorLog logs/sample3.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/sample3.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/joypsychotherapy"
ServerName www.sample4.ca
ErrorLog logs/sample4.ca-error_log
CustomLog logs/sample4.ca-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

In every vhost try to add:

ServerAlias sample... (without the www)

Also you need a default/first vhost

Make this as the first:

Thank you so much Steffen for your help!


I tried what you suggested, but it's still the same thing. I put the ServerAlias but it's still not showing up the right webpage.

[Steffen]

Did you also added the First/Default host ?


Did you for example :

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/skper"
ServerName www.sample1.ca
ServerAlias sample1.ca
ErrorLog logs/sample1.ca-error_log
CustomLog logs/sample1.ca-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

?

Hi Steffen, so sorry I went back again to my config file and I just experimented, I think I solved my problem. I put ServerAlias *.sample4.ca that didn't work. Instead I deleted *. and just sample4.ca in my Serveralias and it worked!

Thank you Steffen!

Hi Steffen,

Yes I added the default first virtual host also.

here's my actual config: I took out the error logs directives

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/sample1"
ServerName www.sample1.ca
ServerAlias sample1.ca
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/sample2"
ServerName www.sample2.com
ServerAlias sample2.com
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/sample3"
ServerName www.sample3.com
ServerAlias sample3.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/sample4"
ServerName www.sample4.ca
ServerAlias sample4.ca
</VirtualHost>


Thanks again Steffen!

I'm a newbie in Apache. Long way to go. Those websites are old when I first learned Apache 14yrs. ago. Thanks Steffen.

Good to hear that all works now.
