On my webserver, I want to serve several websites just based on domain name.
For example, I want a webserver that will serve "mycoolsite.com" and "badstuff.org".
I pointed both sites at the same IP address. In httpd-vhosts, I made two entries:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/mycoolsite
ServerName www.mycoolsite.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/badstuff
ServerName www.badstuff.org
</VirtualHost>
But when I go to badstuff.org, I get served mycoolsite.com! Why is this happening?
Apache Doc
I also know that when I use MAMP, I have to adjust my "hosts" file too. Is this relevant?
Have you added the NameVirtualHost directive before the vhosts declaration ?
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
</VirtualHost>
You may want to check your configuration by command:
$/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -S
If everything is OK, try to check again by restarting the server.

I have a unix system whose actual name is "ech-10.45.25.12"
i have installed apache server in it.
Now i need to configure it in such a way that the two applications running in the same machine in tomcat in two different ports should be accessed by the same domain.
ie., i have two applications running in the same machine under different port
http://ech-10.45.25.12:8080/issuetracker/
http://ech-10.45.25.12:8180/dashboard/
I would like to name this server(ech-10.45.25.12) as devjunior.mycompany.com
The following is the configuration i have made in httpd.conf
Listen 80
Listen 8080
Listen 8180
NameVirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80
NameVirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:8080
NameVirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:8180
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80>
ServerName devjunior.mycompany.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain-80
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:8080>
ServerName devjunior.mycompany.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain-8080
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:8180>
ServerName devjunior.mycompany.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain-8080
</VirtualHost>
i know i am doing a major mistake
But i should be able to access the applications by using the following urls
http://devjunior.mycompany.com/issuetracker
http://devjunior.mycompany.com/dashboard
Should i create ANY directories under any folders any where in the system
Please tell that also.
You configured only the names. So you've configured Apache to listen for:
http://devjunior.mycompany.com:8080
http://devjunior.mycompany.com:8180
You can:
Configure 2 domains with namevirtualhost without using ports. this is the most elegant way of doing what you want
Configure a single domain that points to a single directory on the filesystem with 2 links for the diferrent applications. This works with php mostly or pure html pages. With more complex applications you could incur in a lot of headache..
Domain and port. Like you've done. But you can access only by http://devjunior.mycompany.com:8080/issuetracker and http://devjunior.mycompany.com:8180/dashboard
Solution 1
You can use different domains or subdomains (which are cookie friendly in an eventuality of single sign on).
Listen 80
NameVirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80>
ServerName devjunior.mycompany.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain-80
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80>
ServerName dashboard.devjunior.mycompany.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain-8080
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80>
ServerName issuetracker.devjunior.mycompany.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain-8180
</VirtualHost>
Solution 2 is left as an excercise for the reader... :P
Here is what i did to make it work.
Though the change of name in etc/hosts file did nothing in my intranet, so i used the actual name of the machine which is ech-10.45.25.12
NameVirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80
<VirtualHost ech-10.45.25.12:80>
ServerName ech-10.45.25.12
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass /issuetracker http://ech-10.45.25.12:8080/issuetracker
ProxyPass /dashboard http://ech-10.45.25.12:8180/dashboard
</VirtualHost>
Also dont forget to add the "proxyName" & "proxyPort" attribute to the tag in tomcat's server.xml
I'm having some issue with setting/adding sub domains.. to my apache2(httpd)..
I have this in my httpd.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin stitofte#homiecraft.pro
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/HomieCraft
ServerName www.homiecraft.pro
ServerAlias homiecraft.pro
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName stats.homiecraft.pro
ServerAlias www.stats.homiecraft.pro
ServerAdmin stitofte#homiecraft.pro
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/stats
</VirtualHost>
homiecraft.pro works just fine...
but stats.homiecraft.pro doesn't work at all.... I have made a DNS a record.. And made "stats" point to the listening address... But still it doesn't work...
Any help would be nice... I have had this setup before... But for some reason i can't get it to work this time...
In Apache2 the Virtual Hosts must be add in ../apache2/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf File instead of main configuration file i.e ../apache2/conf/httpd.conf
then reboot the apache2 servie i.e ../apache2/bin/apa[tab] -k restart.
Now It will work fine.
Normally the problem is in the Dns record, check the subdomain add at dns record and check the type, which is sets CNAME and the main domain the type is A.
And check too the ip direction the subdomain
Change the serverAlias at subdomains quit the www.
I have a chinese domain to host. I setup the DNS part and working fine.
However, I cannot set it up in Apache. I did add the alias but still not working.
<VirtualHost 202.64.x.x:80>
ServerName aaaa.com:80
DocumentRoot /var/www/aaaa/
ServerAlias XN--aaaaaaaaaaaa.XN--aaaaaaa
Do I need to add the chinese domain name in Alias?
Any ideas?
A virtualhost setup would be like this, so no port 80 in the servername, plus a closing tag! You need to restart Apache after editing this. Use the proper vhost file to edit this, not the config file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test.xn
ServerAdmin test#test.xn
DocumentRoot /var/www/test.xn
</VirtualHost>
This has probably been asked but I can't find a straight answer, or the ones I found don't work.
I have one domain mydomain.com, resolving to an IP; let's call it 8.8.8.8. The DNS settings also point two subdomains to that IP address with an A record. These are dev.mydomain.com and staging.mydomain.com. Both have an A-record pointing to 8.8.8.8.
On the server (8.8.8.8) I have two virtual hosts files. These are as follows:
staging.mydomain.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName staging.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/staging/
</VirtualHost>
And...
dev.mydomain.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dev.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/dev/
</VirtualHost>
The problem is:
Regardless of whether I visit http://staging.mydomain.com or http://dev.mydomain.com, I always land on staging.mydomain.com (Apache serves these files).
I have restarted Apache and even the server. If I change the order of the .conf files so that dev is first, I always see that. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Thanks!
update
I find myself back at this problem again! If you know that your syntax is correct, you might have a bad symlink. Delete it and recreate again, restarting apache in-between. I just did this and it solved hours of head-scratching. On CentOS you can check your available vhosts with httpd -S
update 2
I've also found this issue to exist when the apache log files for the virtual host don't exist, or aren't writable.
Sounds like you need to add NameVirtualHost directive to your configuration.
NameVirtualHost *:80
Under some circumstances Apache may not be able to handle *:80 VirtualHosts correctly. In those cases you should map VirtualHosts directly on specific IPs.
NameVirtualHost 8.8.8.8:80
<VirtualHost 8.8.8.8:80>
ServerName staging.mydomain.com
ServerAlias stage.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/staging/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 8.8.8.8:80>
ServerName dev.mydomain.com
ServerAlias development.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/dev/
</VirtualHost>
You can also run apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS to see how Apache parses the VirtualHost configuration.
Update: As mentioned in the comments, usually you can just use NameVirtualHost *:80. So most of the time you can configure the virtual hosts as follows.
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName staging.mydomain.com
ServerAlias stage.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/staging/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dev.mydomain.com
ServerAlias development.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/dev/
</VirtualHost>
OK. I have LAMP server on my local development machine. I need to develop few sites on it. So, I've created two files (configs of my sites) in $APACHE/sites-available and made symlinks for them for /sites-enabled. After that I've started sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart. No errors or warnings. When I try mysite.dev it gives it, and when foobar.dev - it gives mysite.dev!
So, apache gives one site for all virtual hosts. How to fix it?
http://pastebin.com/qjcx6RS3 (first site)
http://pastebin.com/FdVStJm8 (second site)
You'll need to set NameVirtualHost-directive like this in your httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:80
Example with two vhosts (like in your case):
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.otherdomain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain
</VirtualHost>
... it would of course also be possible to include the vhosts from seperate files into the httpd.conf.
