Topic: Basic question - Apache configuration - Default web page

[Empulak]

Hello,

i am sorry for my amateur question.

I have few webpages on my Apache server. I use virtual hosts configuration.

In my config files is:

servername siteA

servername siteB

servername siteC

..

But if somebody access server by IP.. siteA is showed.

How to show Default Apache webpage?

I too have vhosts up and running for 4 different sites. I have this in my httpd.conf

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your documents. By default, all requests are taken from this
# directory, but symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/WEBSites"
<Directory "${SRVROOT}/WEBSites">

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.htm
</IfModule>

What it does is point the requester to a generic page if they try to access my server via IP instead of a URL.

I have the index.htm sitting in the home of my Websites folder (AKA - Document Root).

Kind of like this:

D:\WEBSites
index.htm
<DIR> Site A
<DIR> Site B
<DIR> Site C

If you create a vhost the non vhost in httpd.conf disappears.

You can create a default vhost on your own.
