Hi all ,
I hope Someone can help me with this problem. I am setting up a apache2 server to serve pages for two personal websites. I only have one IP available and so want to use Host headers. I have the following in my httpd.conf -
| Code: |
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/lopbunnies
ServerName *.lopbunnies.hobby-site.com
<Directory "/var/www/lopbunnies">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/knottyweb
ServerName *.knotty.homeip.net
<Directory "/var/www/knottyweb">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
|
the trouble is that the server is serving pages from /var/www/lopbunnies whether the url is www.knotty.homeip.net or www.lopbunnies.hobby-site.com
I've been over this a few times and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I am attempting to migrate from IIS to apache 
Thanks
Knotty |

The ServerName directive doesn't use asterisk for wildcard server names.
You should use:
If the same site has additional names, you can use ServerAlias to list them all individually.
For example:
ServerAlias should be used in addition to a ServerName directive, although you currently can get away with omitting the ServerName directive entirely.
If you really need to, you can use an asterisk in the ServerAlias directive. | Code: | | ServerAlias *.knotty.homeip.net |
