Hey how is everyone?
I've got a question concerning how to configure virtual hosts by name.
The problem I'm having is it always goes to the default no matter which url I type.
I'm running Apache 2 which is very different. (No such thing has httpd.conf)
I followed the instructions i found here: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/09/01/186204
here is the relevant part:
| Quote: | recommend following this convention. It makes it much easier to manage when there are a large number of virtual hosts on a server. In the example above, you would create two files, /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com. The /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file would look like this:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName incorrect.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/default
</VirtualHost>
And the /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com would look like this:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com/html
CustomLog logs/www.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Then, create symlinks to the files in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory with the ln -s command: ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.com.
Now that you have the virtual hosts configured, it's time to test. To start Apache 2, type /etc/init.d/apache2 start. Fire up a browser and head to www.example.com:8080. Obviously, this will only work assuming you have a correct virtual host entry for a hostname which has DNS pointing to your server rather than www.example.com. Alternatively, you can add an entry in the /etc/hosts file on the machine that you're browsing from to fool it into thinking it should be going to the IP address of your server.
If Apache 2 didn't start correctly, you may see errors when running /etc/init.d/apache2 start, and you will need to resolve some issues before you can proceed. Check the /var/log/apache2/error.log for details on any problems.
