I have many VirtualHost and it seems that we need to do these two lines each time:
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
Is there a one-line solution that allows to do this?
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName *.example.com # works for both http://example.com and http://www.example.com
i.e. without having to duplicate example.com?
No, it is not possible.
ServerName is used to uniquely identify protocol, name and port of a host. It accepts only one parameter and no wildcard.
You can use wildcards in ServerAlias, and also specify multiple names on it:
ServerAlias *.example.com
or
ServerAlias www1.example.com www2.example.com www3 foo
Source: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#serveralias
A trick I like to do is
<VirtualHost *:80>
Include /.../example.com.conf.include
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
Include /.../example.com.conf.include
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf #optional, maybe you should not do that
</VirtualHost>
and the xxx.conf.include file like:
ServerAdmin someone#somewhere.tld
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com *.example.com andmore.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com
ErrorLog /.../example.com_error.log
CustomLog /.../example.com_custom.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/example.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
This way, you can have HTTP and HTTPS virtual hosts in exactly the same configuration file.
Specifically to your question,
ServerAlias *.example.com
should do the trick

I get slightly crazy :)
I have a domain example.com and I have a SSL certificate for www.example.com
The example.com refers to the IP address of the server (it is an EC2 instance).
In the vhost.conf of the Server I have the following entries
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example-wp
SSLEngine On
...
</VirtualHost>
I took the information from the apache wiki.
https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RedirectSSL
Thanks for helping

You already have the necessary directives listed to perform the redirect. You also need to tell the vhost file where your certificate and key for the certificate exist. You also need to say whether or not a directory the user browses to is to load SSL. Please see a full example configuration file below.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#local
DocumentRoot /path/to/web/content
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorLog logs/error_log
CustomLog logs/access combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/certfile.cer
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/keyfile.key

I want any domain to point a CNAME on my vhosts for that i use
ServerAlias *
in my vhosts but it only works with one vhost if I add it in both the CNAME pointed to the second vhost serves the contented from the first vhost.
e.g:
1st: files.domain.com CNAME to files.example.com
2nd: r.domain.com CNAME to r.example.com
but second one is also serving files.example.com
My httpd.conf has these two vhosts
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/files.example.com
ServerName files.example.com
ErrorLog /var/www/files.example.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/files.example.com/logs/custom_log common
<Directory "/var/www/files.example.com">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/r.example.com
ServerName r.example.com
ErrorLog /var/www/r.example.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/r.example.com/logs/custom_log common
<Directory "/var/www/r.example.com">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This may not be directly related but it could be of help to others: you can actually put many aliases in the same virtual host entry (in my case for the same domain):
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias mail.example.com files.example.com r.example.com
And be sure to include all these as server-aliases also while creating an SSL Certificate for the domain.
You have to add ServerAlias lines
below ServerName files.example.com add ServerAlias files.domain.com
and below ServerName r.example.com add ServerAlias r.domain.com
In your case apache uses files.example.com as default vhost, because it is first one.
I solved this problem by setting a dedicated ip on the vhost where I want the ServerAlias to be * and it worked
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.55:80>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/r.example.com
ServerName r.example.com
ServerAlias *
ErrorLog /var/www/r.example.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/r.example.com/logs/custom_log common
<Directory "/var/www/r.example.com">

I created a SSL VirtualHost
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName cloud.url.com
ServerAlias www.url.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/owncloud
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/owncloud.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/owncloud.key
</VirtualHost>
My problem is that every SSL connection now is going to /var/www/owncloud
For instance https://url.com is going to /var/www/owncloud instead of /var/www/
How can I only set the VirtualHost for cloud.url.com and the other domains "ignore the ssl" - so they stay in there directories?
In fact, your virtualhost says www.url.com and cloud.url.com goes to /var/www/owncloud. I think you don't want www.url.go to points to your owncloud. So, just remove serverAlias :
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName cloud.url.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/owncloud
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/owncloud.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/owncloud.key
</VirtualHost>
I think you haven't set any virtualhost listening to url.com on port 443. That's why, apache redirect it to an url configured with https.
if you don't want ssl on url.com, you can just do this :
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName url.com
Redirect 301 / http://url.com
</VirtualHost>
Found the solution, put this in one file together:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName cloud.domain.com
ServerAlias www.cloud.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/owncloud
<Directory /var/www/owncloud/>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/owncloud.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/owncloud.key
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com
Redirect 301 / http://domain.com
</VirtualHost>
Thank you!
I have two applications running in the same server and I would like to have one served from subpath in the url (i.e):
foo.com -> /var/www/foo
foo.com/bar -> /var/www/bar
I'm trying to do an alias but is not working:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#foo.com
ServerName foo.com
DocumentRoot /webapps/foo/current/public
<Directory /webapps/foo/current/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
RailsEnv staging
Alias /blog /webapps/blog/current
<Directory /webapps/blog/current>
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
Do you know why this is not working?
I also tried serverpath directive without any success.
Do you know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Use AliasMatch instead of Alias:
AliasMatch ^/bar/?(.*) /var/www/bar/$1
Or, in your case:
AliasMatch ^/blog/?(.*) /webapps/blog/current/$1
Have you considered using another separate subdomain, like bar.foo.com for your other application?
Here's how you'd set that up:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#foo.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo
ServerName foo.com
ServerAlias foo.com www.foo.com
ErrorLog logs/foo.com_Error_Log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#foo.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/bar
ServerName bar.foo.com
ErrorLog logs/bar.foo.com_Error_Log
</VirtualHost>
I have an odd situation where I want to have the URLs app1.example.com, example.com and *.example.com all using a different virtual host. This is what I have (excluding example.com because it just makes it messier).
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName app1.example.com
ServerAlias app1.example.com
DocumentRoot = /var/www/app1
# Other configuration for this app here
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName wildcard.example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
DocumentRoot = /var/www/wildcard
# other configuration for this app here
</VirtualHost>
The problem is that they conflict. Whichever one is listed first wins out. How can I host both a wildcard virtualhost and a specific one?
Note: I'm not just changing DocumentRoot in the config, so using mod_rewrite to change the DocumentRoot variable does not fix it.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app1
ServerName app1.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/wildcard
ServerName other.example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
</VirtualHost>
Should work. The first entry will become the default if you don't get an explicit match. So if you had app.otherexample.com point to it, it would be caught be app1.example.com.
Wildcards can only be used in the ServerAlias rather than the ServerName. Something which had me stumped.
For your use case, the following should suffice
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias *.example.com
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%1/
</VirtualHost>
This also works for https needed a solution to making project directories this was it. because chrome doesn't like non ssl anymore used free ssl. Notice: My Web Server is Wamp64 on Windows 10 so I wouldn't use this config because of variables unless your using wamp.
