I'm trying to get Apache Virtual Host to work but it wont catch the domains and goes out on the internet instead.
I've enabled the Virtual Host in the Config file:
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
My httpd-vhosts.conf file looks like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "//nas/Web Design/Sites"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#fdn.dk
DocumentRoot "//nas/Web Design/Sites/Fdn"
ServerName fdn.dk
ServerAlias www.fdn.dk
ErrorLog "logs/fdn/error.log"
CustomLog "logs/fdn/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
http://Localhost works fine but when i type fdn.dk or www.fdn.dk the browser tries to find the site on the internet instead of looking at my local folder.
What is wrong...??
I tried to find a solution on the internet but without luck.
Do I need to change something in the host file ???
Kind Regards

Yes, you need to add that domain name to /etc/hosts file if you are using an operating system that has it.
Or to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts if you are using Windows.
Example of record:
127.0.0.1 www.fdn.dk

I have VDS server without a normal domain. It has only DNS zone vm-4bbd6831.na4u.ru provided by my hosting service NetAngels.
Server has Ubuntu 22.04 with LAMP stack installed.
I should move to this server multiple websites, each website on its subdomain.
For instance:
site1 has address site1.vm-4bbd6831.na4u.ru
site2 has address site2.vm-4bbd6831.na4u.ru
and so on...
I tried configuring vsost like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1
ServerAlias site1.*
DocumentRoot /var/www/site1
<Directory /var/www/site1/>
Options +ExecCGI -Includes -Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
I think i tried to change ServerName and ServerAlias with all possible values, but every time I reload apache and try to access http://site1.vm-4bbd6831.na4u.ru/ in web browser, I get only 'Server not found' message.
Give me please a clue, how can i configure vhosts...
I'll be very pleased, if you explain me how to properly use ServerName and ServerAlias
Thanks!!!

I have a local Apache server running on the network and I've got a number of tester machines. I want to be able to connect to a specific website on the localhost, at the moment it just connects to the first website.
For example: 192.168.1.125/mywebsite.
I've looked around I cannot find the method of conneciton, I know it's something really simple but everywhere I look answers a different problem. (Maybe this is too simple).
So basically I'm asking, how do I access the other servername though the browser. (setup is like so:)
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/website1
ServerName website1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/website2
ServerName website2
</VirtualHost>
I've tried
192.168.1.125~mywebsite
192.168.1.125:80/mywebsite.
192.168.1.125-mywebsite.
Can anyone help me here? Also what's the English for this? Namespace? Name-server or something?
*I get the error "Object not found" with these.
Name-based serving of apache is based on the actual hostname in the request. To make this work, you have to be able to reference that IP by any names you need. You have to be able to do http://hostname/ and not http://IP for name-based virtual hosts to work.
You can do this either with a hosts file (for a single host) or over DNS. Neither is a programming problem though.
Use virtual hosts. i.e. have something like this in the httpd.conf file:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName <make up a hostname here e.g. example.com>
DocumentRoot "<path to the web site files>"
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "<path to the web site files>">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Then add the following to the to the hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
127.0.0.1 <made up hostname as above>
Then you can access the web site as http://<hostname as above>
Guess it will be the same for Linux except the file would be /etc/hosts. You can repeat this as often as necessary.
EDIT Use the following it /etc/hosts on both the machine running the server and the machine running the browser
192.168.1.125 website2.example.com
192.168.1.125 website1.example.com
Then edit the two copies of the virtual hosts stuff above using the website1.example.com and website2.example.com
Shot in the dark
Map your testing machines to your server
~/test_machines/web_1
~/test_machines/web_2
~/test_machines/web_3
Then add the site entries to your vhost.conf. Use VirtualDocumentRoot from mod_vhost_alias. You can see the examples here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html

I am really new to servers and apache however I've been struggling for a while now and maybe somebody can help me.
So I have set up an apache server that works (if I use the IP address I can reach the website and it works properly). I have linked the url with the nameservers and my virtual host file looks like (located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite)
<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80>
ServerAdmin admin#mysite1.com
ServerName mysite1.com
ServerAlias www.mysite1.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/mysite1.com/public_html/
ErrorLog /srv/www/mysite1.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /srv/www/mysite1.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
The weirdest thing is it worked yesterday and in the meantime I only installed an FTP server ... Any ideas of what I might have done wrong?
Thank you
If this is on Debian, you also need to link your config file in /etc/apache2/sites-available to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, to let the config scripts know that the file is not only available, but also enabled.
Another thing might want to check is NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80 directive somewhere in Apache config (or, optionally NameVirtualHost *:80).

I'm using Xampp (Apace 2.2.20) on mac os lion for development. I have a number of CMS projects and i want to access them by going to cms1.localhost, cms2.localhost, cms3.localhost etc
Currently, with the setup I have below, everything goes to whatever is in the first virtual hosts directive ie (/Applications/XAMPP/migration/trunk).
Can anyone please point me in the right direction. I can't think what else to do in terms of debug etc so that help would be useful too. Thanks a lot.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/migration/trunk"
</Virtualhost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName rix.localhost
DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/projects/giving"
</Virtualhost>
In /etc/hosts I have
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 rix.localhost
For troubleshooting purposes, try swapping the VirtualHost declarations, confirm that the file is the correct one, and restart Apache.
They're all simple things, but best to check there first.

Ok, I ask my question first and below are details of what I have so far trying to solve the thing:
On Apache running on localhost, I want to have different virtual hosts that would be accessible through url:
http://name-of-the-virtual-host.name-of-the-machine/
Details:
So I have Apache running on port 8080 of my laptop. Linux Mint, so Debian distro. Everything is in local for testing purposes, so no DNS involved! The IP address I use is 127.0.1.1 which has the domain of my computer, called fabjoa. On the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, I've put:
ServerName fabjoa
In the file /etc/hosts, there is indeed the line
127.0.1.1 fabjoa
In the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf
NameVirtualHost *:8080
Listen 8080
Now, the conf file of my virtual host. The file is called is goyahkla and is located on /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and has a symbolic link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. On this file, I have the following:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName goyakhla.fabjoa
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/sites/goyahkla
....
<Directory /var/sites/goyahkla/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
...
</VirtualHost>
Running apache2ctl configtest gives me Syntax OK. Now, on browser, opening http://fabjoa:8080/ does point to the Virtual Host goyahkla (beacause that's the only one I have), but http://goyahkla.fabjoa:8080 is not found. Other debugging:
telnet goyahkla.fabjoa:8080
telnet: could not resolve goyahkla.fabjoa:8080/telnet: Name or service not known
lynx goyahkla.fabjoa:8080
Looking up 'goyahkla.fabjoa' first
Looking up 'www.goyahkla.fabjoa.com', guessing...
Looking up goyahkla.fabjoa first
Looking up www.goyahkla.fabjoa.com, guessing...
Looking up www.goyahkla.fabjoa.com:8080
Making HTTP connection to www.goyahkla.fabjoa.com:8080
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.goyahkla.fabjoa.com:8080/
Any idea on how purpose could be achieved?
Thank you
Don't you need to specify full hostname un hosts file? Like "goyahkla.fabjoa" instead of "fabjoa"?
Anyway, this is not programming question and should be asked on serverfault.com
