Topic: virtual host configuration help please

[shaggy]

ok i've been messing with this now for awhile. And really need a six pack instead of instructions..........lol. I think what I'm trying to do is impossible so here goes:

One computer
One apache
Just installed bind if that makes a difference
Server is on a "public" ip address 192.168.0.1
Computer name is both localhost and server01
I've edited the crap out of files and can't seem to do it it properly

Here's what I wanna do:
http://here.server01/ = c:\path to apache\htdocs\folder #1
http://here2.server01/ = c:\path to apache\htdocs\folder #2
Were "here" and "here2" is at are TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS <dirs> and two totally different pages.

Different pages are for example: (not on my server just off the top of my head):
C:\web\htdocs\forum\<folder> = phpBB = http://forum.server01/
C:\web\htdocs\biz\<folder> = OSCommerence = http://biz.server01/ -or even- http://store.server01/

Any help on how on earth to code that into apache?

[shaggy]

part 2:
The reason why i said http://here.server01/ is cuz i would like it to be served acrossed my network cuz if I do http://here.localhost/ it'll be only for that computer. thanks for the advice and the help on this aggrivating situation

Please read the manual

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/name-based.html

If there are any questions left, please ask again.

why not edit the hosts file on the pc your on

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.0.1 mine.com
192.168.0.1 mine2.com

if i understand correctly, these sites are for LAN only correct ??
as per your example 192.168.0.1 is NOT a public (wan) ip.

then its a simple vhost setup

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mine.com
ServerAlias www.mine.com
DocumentRoot "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/mine1/"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mine2.com
ServerAlias www.mine2.com
DocumentRoot "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/mine2/"
</VirtualHost>

I am trying to setup 2 virtual hosts using the following:
#
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>
ServerAdmin webmaster@shadowmountainranch.com
DocumentRoot D:/smr/
ServerName shadowmountainranch.com
ServerAlias www.shadowmountainranch.com *.shadowmountainranch.com
ErrorLog logs/shadowmountainranch.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/shadowmountainranch.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@navarroquail.org
DocumentRoot D:/wnbri/
ServerName navarroquail.org
ServerAlias www.navarroquail.org *.navarroquail.org
ErrorLog logs/navarroquail.org-error_log
CustomLog logs/navarroquail.orgs-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Where in http.conf do I place the above? Befor or after 'Main' Server Configuration?

Thanks

[strigoi]

if you scroll down, youll see the virtual host config section, towards the bottom, thats a good a place as any.

[slanetx]

I just went to the bottom of the file and inserted there and it worked.

Thanks

[strigoi]

anytime

That solution works only local.
