Erro Setting up VirtualHost for folders belonging to same domain - apache

Question

Noob Here.. I have the following folder structure on my Ubuntu Machine
/var/www/
/folder1
/folder2
Now i want to redirect my url xyz.com to folder1 & xyz.com/blog to folder2. I am using the following Vhost Config file
For xyz.com to folder1
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName xyz.com
ServerAlias www.xyz.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/folder1
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
.......
</VirtualHost >
And for xyz.com/blog to folder2
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName xyz.com/blog
ServerAlias www.xyz.com/blog
DocumentRoot /var/www/folder2
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
.......
</VirtualHost >
When i enter xyz.com in url, it serves me index file from folder1(As expected & correct) but when i enter xyz.com/blog it shows 404:Not found Error
Not Found
The requested URL /blog/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at socialcosmo.com Port 80
I have spent hours on this and still unable to figure out the problem :(
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

There's no such thing as a host (domain name) with a path in it. xyz.com/blog is not a valid ServerName.
Delete the second virtual host and add an alias directive to your first one.
Alias /blog /var/www/folder2
