Apache default host - apache

I have Apache2, it's document root structure is:
/var/www/html
---index.html
---example.com
------/index.html
I want all requests to my-site.com to point to example.com/index.html and all other requests to be served from /var/www/html.
Here's my config:
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my-site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com
</VirtualHost>
But all requests are served from Apache document root.
Thanks for any help.


You need a NameVirtualHost directive somewhere in your config before the second virtual host.
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my-site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com
</VirtualHost>

Virtualhost For Wildcard and Static Subdomain

This is what I basically have now:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app1
ServerName app1.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
</VirtualHost>
This configuration makes app1.example.com a default serving VirtualHost.
Thus, when another.domain.com is pointed to *.example.com, it is served by app1.example.com.
How this configuration can be changed, so that another.domain.com would be served by *.example.com, still having app1.example.com, *.example.com and example.com working too?
Thank you.
P.S. I'm basing somewhat my question on this SO answer

My own research gave me the only workaround so far. I've ended up using another port for app1.example.com.
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app1
ServerName app1.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
</VirtualHost>

ordering VirtualHosts in Apache conf

I'm having issues with my apache configuration. The expected outcome is to allow all traffic to go to the default site trekfederation.com, UNLESS the subdomain is specified and matched otherwise. My problem is that some of my subdomains still default to the main site.
I have two files as part of my configuration:
httpd.conf
ships.conf
here's httpd.conf's portion for virtualhost:
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

the site i'm working on is ussfirelace.trekfederation.com. it still routes to trekfederation.com.
it does register with apache -S:
port 80 namevhost ussfirelace.trekfederation.com (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ships.conf:34)
alias ussfirelace.trekfederation.net
what am I missing?
Thanks.

The configs look good to me. Possible solutions / problems:
a) Did you restart your apache to load the new virtual host?
b) Have you checked that the DNS record points as A Record (or CNAME) to your server and no redirect is configured with your NS provider?
c) Have you checked your code, that it does not trigger a redirect (e.g. 301, or javascript...)?
d) Clearing browser cache is also some thing that you should take care of.
e) Doublecheck the URL you type for typos.

Apache22: how to redirect a dir to https?

Say, I have a domain http://www.example.com. I have this in httpd.conf: DocumentRoot "/Apache22/htdocs".
I also have /Apache22/htdocs/dir1 application directory, which I want to force users to connect to with https, say, with URL: https://www.example.com/dir1 and redirect any http requests to https for this directory.
I tried VirtualHost and Redirect so:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /Apache22/htdocs/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com/dir1
DocumentRoot /Apache22/htdocs/dir1
Redirect permanent /dir1 https://www.example.com/dir1
</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com/dir1
DocumentRoot /Apache22/htdocs/dir1
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/server.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/server.key
</VirtualHost>
But apparently Apache ignores any subdrectories in ServerName, so both www.example.com and www.example.com/dir1 are the same in VirtualHost block, as far as Apache concerned.
How do I achieve an https redirect of any URL accessing dir1?

Try:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /Apache22/htdocs/
Redirect permanent /dir1 https://www.example.com/dir1
</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /Apache22/htdocs
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/server.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/server.key
</VirtualHost>
The ServerName directive takes a host name, not anything including a path component.

Virtual Host With SSL Support on OS X Mavericks

I have a few virtual hosts setup on my local dev machine running Apache/2.2.24 on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
My http-vhosts.conf file (that is configured to load through httpd.conf looks like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite.com
ServerName testsite.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite2.com
ServerName testsite2.dev
</VirtualHost>
I have also configured my /etc/vhosts file to contain this line:
127.0.0.1 testsite2.dev
I want to be able to use the testsite2.dev over SSL (https). I have tried multiple configurations of the vhosts config file with no luck.
With this current configuration, going to http://testsite2.dev pulls up the page I expect while https://testsite2.dev points to the apache home page at /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en
I have tried the following configuration, and multiple others, that do not work:
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite.com
ServerName testsite.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80 *:443>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite2.com
ServerName testsite2.dev
</VirtualHost>
Is it possible to have a virtual host listen on port 80 and port 443 on a local machine?

I figured out how to do this. I was simply missing a few directives to show where my certificate and key are located. Here's what I added:
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /private/etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /private/etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite2.com"
ServerName testsite2.dev
</VirtualHost>
Shown in context, my http-vhosts.conf file looked like this:
Listen *:443
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite.com
ServerName testsite.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /private/etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /private/etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/testsite2.com"
ServerName testsite2.dev
</VirtualHost>
If you don't have a certificate and key installed, you can create your own by following a tutorial like this one:
http://www.cfdad.com/2012/12/12/creating-a-self-signed-ssl-cert-for-mac-osx-mountain-lion-apache/
It should work on both Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

Apache virtual hosts not working when using subdomain

I am trying to setup a virtual host. I have done this many times before on different servers with no problem, however, I have never tried it using a subdomain.
For some strange reason when I go to the subdomain: sub.mysite.co.uk I get redirected to the /var/www/mysite directory and not /var/www/other-site
Here is my apache.conf file:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
NameVirtualHost *:80
<ifmodule mod_ssl.c>
NameVirtualHost *:443
</ifmodule>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName *.mysite.co.uk
DocumentRoot "/var/www/newsletters/"
</VirtualHost>
And my sites-enabled file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.co.uk
DocumentRoot /var/www/newsletters
ServerAlias sub.mysite.co.uk
</VirtualHost>
Have I missed something?

Did you check your DNS entries? Maybe it's redirecting all subdomains to mysite.co.uk.

Write this in httpd.conf
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*.conf
Listen *:80
Write this in custom-vhost.conf located in sites-enabled
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin contact#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1
ServerName domain1.me
ServerAlias www.domain1.me
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin contact#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain2
ServerName domain2.com
ServerAlias www.domain2.com
</VirtualHost>
Hope it works
