I am quite new to VirtualHosts,
My use case is:
The domain mobc.in should be redirected to /var/www/html/mobc
And all other requests should be redirected to /var/www/html
The configuration that I am using it is
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mobc
ServerName www.mobc.in
ServerAlias mobc.in *.mobc.in
ErrorLog logs/mobc.in-error_log
CustomLog logs/mobc.in-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
This is not serving the purpose and even mobc.in is being redirected to /var/www/html
Kindly help me.
Remove the fist virtualhost tags and contents. Just use the 2nd one and use the default documentroot in httpd.conf

I declared in my DNS, my domain, subdomain1 and subdomain2, and everything works.
Then I create my directories like this :
/var/www/domain.com/public_html/index.html /var/www/subdomain1.domain.com/public_html/index.html /var/www/subdomain2.domain.com/public_html/index.html
Then I create : /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain1.domain.com
ServerAlias www.subdomain1.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain1.domain.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain2.domain.com
ServerAlias www.subdomain2.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain2.domain.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I disable the default configuration: sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
Then I activate each of the websites: sudo a2ensite domain.conf
I restart Apache 2: sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
The problem is that all links point to the first declared VirtualHost, even when I separate the VirtualHost declarations in separate .conf files, it will always be the first VirtualHost in the directory that will be opened for all DNS domains.
Apache will try to match the requested domain to one of the VirtualHost it knows about. When it cannot find a match, it will use the first one it read, top to bottom in the configurations. Hence here, your domains are not being recognized by Apache, and you get the first one all the time.
I modified your configuration a little bit:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain1.example.com
ServerAlias subdomain1.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain1.example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub1_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub1_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain2.example.com
ServerAlias subdomain2.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain2.example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub2_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub2_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Details:
NameVirtualHost is only required if you run Apache 2.2. >2.4, it is automatic, no need to put it, it will work anyway.
ServerAlias is useful to define another domain name that applies to this VirtualHost. If you define ServerAlias == ServerName, it is useless.
Therefore, the ServerAlias are now configured with the domain names, without "www."
Split your log files. If you have 3 VH pointing to the same logs, it will be a real mess to debug. It makes it easier when split.
So with this configuration...
http://www.subdomain1.example.com and http://subdomain1.example.com will go to the 1st VH.
Similar for subdomain2
And http://www.example.com and http://example.com will use the third one.
This is based on your question and the comment where you say you tried example.com. In your configuration, example.com was not listed anywhere (i.e. www.example.com != example.com).
i'm try to setup multiple wordpress sites on my Amazon EC2 instance. Here's how my httpd.conf file looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.com
ServerAlias domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.co
ServerAlias domain2.co
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain2
</VirtualHost>
So, when i entered domain1.com or www.domain1.com in the browser, it redirects correctly to the content i wanted and so does www.domain2.co . However, when i entered domain2.co, it doesn't directs to the ServerName www.domain2.co but to the first VirtualHost settings www.domain1.com.
Anything i'm missing out here?
Try this. Apache will default to the 1st virtual host if it doesn't find a virtualhost match which means your second VirtualHost is being ignored. We use www. as an alias and the domain as the server name. See if this helps.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain1.com
ServerAlias www.domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain2.com
ServerAlias www.domain2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain2
</VirtualHost>
Figured it out guys, the browser caches previous data when domain2.co points to domain1.com. So even when i have set the virtualhost correctly for domain2.co, the browser will still load the previous cached data from domain1.com.
Solution will be to clear browser data.
Found out that another factor affecting this could be because of your ISP.

I'm having problem getting virtual hosts to work as I want to. I've been searching for the last hours but it feels like I'm more lost than before.
So basically I want the following setup:
http://test.localhost => D:\xampp\htdocs\test\site
http://test.localhost/call => D:\xampp\htdocs\test\back\call.pl
And possibly add other stuff like /whatever that points to some other .pl script
Could anyone give me a hint? I must have missed something obvious...
For localhost subdomains you must add that subdomain to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost test.localhost
Did you try editing your apache conf file?
Something like this
# vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ramesh#thegeekstuff.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/docs/thegeekstuff"
ServerName thegeekstuff.com
ServerAlias www.thegeekstuff.com
ErrorLog "logs/thegeekstuff/error_log"
CustomLog "logs/thegeekstuff/access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ramesh#top5freeware.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/docs/top5freeware"
ServerName top5freeware.com
ServerAlias www.top5freeware.com
ErrorLog "logs/top5freeware/error_log"
CustomLog "logs/top5freeware/access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
I want to have this situation :
if user request using this URL : example.com or www.example.com,
user will see index.php in this directory /home/admin1/public_html/
but when user request using other sub domain (wildcard) for example : freediscount.example.com, user will see index.php in this path : /home/admin1/public_html/userweb/freediscount.example.com
technical support on my hosting suggest me to use this method : http://www.wiredstudios.com/php-programming/setting-up-wildcard-dns-for-subdomains-on-cpanel.html
based on that tutorial, the PHP has a new job... to redirect on specific folder when user request with sub domain. I don't like this method. for me, it would be better if Apache can handle this.
nearly close to what I need is this method : Virtualhost For Wildcard Subdomain and Static Subdomain
but, I have a problem with VirtualHost setting, how to create VirtualHost correctly for that situation?
here's what I've done but didn't work :
## I think this one is for www or without www, automatically generated with WHM
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html
</VirtualHost>
## Here's what I'm trying to add
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/userweb/*
</VirtualHost>
Wildcard sub-domains are definitely possible using Apache virtual hosts.
I had basically the same requirements and managed to get it working with Apache's mod_vhost_alias.so module. Try this in your http-vhosts.conf file:
DocumentRoot "/home/admin1/public_html/userweb/"
<Directory "/home/admin1/public_html/userweb/">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/
ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/userweb/%1.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/
ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>
Note that I haven't tested this, but it's pretty close to the solution that worked for me.
Full details of my solution are here:
http://www.calcatraz.com/blog/wildcard-subdomains-in-apache-1422
Try with this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/
ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/userweb/freediscount.example.com
ServerName other.example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/admin1/public_html/
ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>
Order of virtual hosts & their specificity matters.
I've got a site set up on localhost that I'm actively developing, and I'd like to set up a subdomain on localhost to make my life 10* easier.
I added this to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost i1.localhost:80>
ServerAdmin dummy#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/i1/"
ServerName i1.localhost
ServerAlias www.i1.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
Apache stats up fine, but when I navigate to http://localhost/ I'm seeing content from the i1 subdomain. http://i1.localhost/ works fine, however.
Then I tried doing this:
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerAdmin dummy#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost i1.localhost:80>
ServerAdmin dummy#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/i1/"
ServerName i1.localhost
ServerAlias www.i1.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
But that worked the opposite. On both localhost and i1.localhost I'm seeing content from C:/xampp/htdocs/.
Anyone got an idea what's going wrong?
Cheers.
Apache usually does not like a vhosts document root inside another vhost, try:
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
and
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/i1/"
