Topic: rather complex setup: root dir is IP > all domains Virtua

[shawngibson]

Hi All,

With 2.0.59, I've a number of domains all resolved through one IP - they are each under htdocs/domain name - but the root itself (i.e. the IP which would be rooted at htdocs/) doesn't work...it also seems to be the cause of why my bundle (apache2triad) doesn't quite work for xmail now (a2t has proven itself very solid over the years under simpler setups).

Can anyone please let me know, maybe, why my code below in httpd.conf would disallow me access to 216.240.9.27 (and more importantly, 216.240.9.27/apache2triadcp, which is the admin console for the bundle) but DOES allow me acess to all the domains mentioned in the file below? I'm stumped:(

I can for some reason access localhost/apache2triad, but that doesn'thelp when I'm not at my server...which is most of the time.

#server config
ServerName shawngibson.com:80
ServerAdmin admin@shawngibson.com

I am using Apache 2.2, sorry...not 2.0.

You have mixed up name based vhosts and ip based vhosts. Apache work only with ip based or named based at one time, not both.

[shawngibson]

Thanks:) Since I only have one IP, and several domains (and one computer for use as a server), what would a best-practices approach involve to this, if I might ask? I'm a designer/photographer, been trying to struggle through the server-setup parts myself, so any advice would be appreciated.

An example setup would be

That works perfectly, thank you so much! I even gained back my ability to access root-level (i.e., typically localhost) files externally (phpmyadmin etc.)...thanks again.
