Default website in name-based apache virtual host configuration - apache

Question

I am using name-based virtual host configuration, to serve different websites
from the same IP address. For example:
http://www.myserver.com/website1
http://www.myserver.com/website2
http://www.myserver.com/website3
...
http://www.myserver.com/websiten
All of them are stored into my server, in the directories:
/var/www/website1
/var/www/website2
/var/www/website3
...
/var/www/websiten
I want to use website1 as default website when browsing to URL:
http://www.myserver.com
To do that, I'm trying this method:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName www.myserver.com
Alias / /var/www/website1 ### ALIAS HERE
<Directory /var/www/website1>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/website2>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
...
<Directory /var/www/websiten>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
But it doesn't work. Please, help.

Answer 1

Why don't you create hosts file like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.myserver.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/website1"
</VirtualHost>
Then create symlinks in your var/www/website1/ dir to point to the other dirs?
cd /var/www/website1/
ln -s /var/www/website2/ website2
ln -s /var/www/website3/ website3
if you have different domain names then you can configure vhost like so without symlinks, first instance uses the ServerAlias directive:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myserver.com
ServerAlias www.myserver.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/website1"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName trac.myserver.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/website2"
</VirtualHost>

Answer 2

I have finally fixed my issue. I have replaced
Alias / /var/www/website1 ### ALIAS HERE
by this Directory section:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
RedirectMatch ^/$ /website1/
</Directory>
RedirectMatch fixes my issue. Now, when I browse this URL:
http://www.myserver.com
it is automatically converted to this:
http://www.myserver.com/website1/
I'm not sure if that is the best way to solve my issue, but at least, it works as expected. This can be marked as [Solved] yet.
Thank you in advance for help! :)
