Server has two IPs, fresh centos min install. Apache is working, both ips load Apache test page. both www.domain.com and domain.com resolve to second IP.
I'd like for the first IP (192.168.0.1) to load Apache test page, this is working fine
I want the second IP (192.168.0.2) to load a website in /home/site/www
Currently when we goto domain.com or www.domain.com or 2nd IP it loads apache test page instead of the site, here's our config. Also I have the IPs listed as 192 instead of the real ips. What am I missing? Why isn't 192.168.0.2 loading /home/site/www instead of the Apache test page?
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
Listen 80
ServerName 192.168.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory "/var/www/html">
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80>
DocumentRoot /home/site/www
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/mydomain.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mydomain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Update
The Fix
chcon -R --reference=/var/www /home/site/www
SELinux needed the correct permissions set on it, using the reference it copies the same permissions to my new folder
Try this:
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
Listen 80
ServerName 192.168.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName mydomain.com #change accordingly
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/mydomain.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mydomain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80>
DocumentRoot /home/site/www
ServerName mydomain2.com
ServerAlias *.mydomain2.com
ErrorLog logs/mydomain2.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mydomain2.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Don't forget to apply the changes on apache.
service httpd reload or similar command.
Also, make sure the directory /var/www/html has, at least, reading permissions for the apache user.
You are missing the NameVirtualHost directive.
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
I would also highly suggest putting in Directory directives in as well.

I have just setup a website using a domain like domain.com. And then setup another website sub.domain.com.
Now both of them can be visited via ipv4. And then I added the ipv6 address[a:b::c:d]. However, when I restarted httpd service, the following message appeared:
[warn] VirtualHost a:b::c:d:80 overlaps with VirtualHost a:b::c:d:80,
the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost
directive.
I can now only visit domain.com via ipv6, not sub.domain.com. But, somehow, I can visit domain.com/sub via ipv6. I seems that ipv6 address cannot be treated like ipv4 address in apache. I am wondering how could I configure the apache to behave as what I wish.
I have the following lines in my httpd.conf file:
Listen 1.2.3.4:80
Listen [a:b::c:d]:80
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName domain.com
ErrorLog "/var/www/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "/var/www/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost [a:b::c:d]:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName domain.com
ErrorLog "/var/www/logs/ipv6_error.log"
CustomLog "/var/www/logs/ipv6_access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sub
ServerName sub.domain.com
ErrorLog "/var/www/logs/sub_error.log"
CustomLog "/var/www/logs/sub_access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost [a:b::c:d]:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sub
ServerName sub.domain.com
ErrorLog "/var/www/logs/sub6_error.log"
CustomLog "/var/www/logs/sub6_access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
Just as Jeremy Visser mentioned, I searched the config file and found the following line:
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
It seems that this is the problem. Then I added this line:
NameVirtualHost [a:b::c:d]:80
The problem was settled!
I set VirtualHost in httpd.conf like this:
<VirtualHost xxx.255.118.79:80>
ServerAdmin hoge#hoge.foo.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName main.foo.com
ErrorLog logs/main.foo.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/main.foo.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost xxx.255.118.79:8080>
ServerAdmin hoge#hoge.foo.com
DocumentRoot /opt/another_www/
ServerName anotherhost.foo.com
ErrorLog logs/host.foo.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/host.foo.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>
And it looks like ok with httpd -S.
[iron#birdwatch html]$ sudo httpd -S
VirtualHost configuration:
xxx.255.118.79:80 main.foo.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1012)
xxx.255.118.79:8080 anotherhost.foo.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1020)
Syntax OK
But when I access to http://xxx.255.118.79:8080, it still access to /var/www/html.
Could you kindly tell me how I can make apache2 serve /opt/another_www for port 8080 ?
Thanks!
I realized that the domain name in has to be discoverable by the local machine that runs Apache.
It means it has to be local IP address or *.
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin hoge#hoge.foo.com
DocumentRoot /opt/another_www/
After I changed it to *, it started to serve documents under /opt/another/www.
How can I set a default VirtualHost in Apache?
Preferably, I want the default host not to be the same as the IP address host. Now I have something like this:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /someOtherDir/
ServerAlias ip.of.the.server
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /someroot/
ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
</VirtualHost *>
If a domain is forwarded to my server, but isn't in this vhost.conf file, the files from /someOtherDir/ are loaded, as expected. But I want to be able to use a different root for the IP address itself and domains which aren't added to the vhost.conf file (yet). Is this possible?
I found the answer: I remembered that Apache uses the first block if no other matching block is found, so I've added a block without a serveralias at the top of the blocks:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /defaultdir/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /someOtherDir/
ServerAlias ip.of.the.server
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /someroot/
ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
</VirtualHost>
If you are using Debian style virtual host configuration (sites-available/sites-enabled), one way to set a Default VirtualHost is to include the specific configuration file first in httpd.conf or apache.conf (or what ever is your main configuration file).
# To set default VirtualHost, include it before anything else.
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/my.example.com.conf
# Load config files in the "/etc/httpd/conf.d" directory, if any.
IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf
# Load virtual host config files from "/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/".
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
The other answers here didn't work for me, but I found a pretty simple solution that did work.
I made the default one the last one listed, and I gave it ServerAlias *.
For example:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.secondwebsite.example
ServerAlias secondwebsite.example *.secondwebsite.example
DocumentRoot /home/secondwebsite/web
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.defaultwebsite.example
ServerAlias *
DocumentRoot /home/defaultwebsite/web
</VirtualHost>
If the visitor didn't explicitly choose to go to something ending in secondwebsite.example, they get the default website.
Actually, I'm using Virtual host configuration (sites-available / sites-enabled) on EC2 Linux AMI with Apache/2.4.39 (Amazon). So, I have 1 EC2 instance to serve many sites (domains).
Considering that you already have Virtual Host installed and working. In my folder /etc/httpd/sites-available, I have some files with domain names (suffix .conf), for example: example.com.conf. Create a new file like that.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/sites-available/example.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain
</VirtualHost>
For each file.conf in sites-available, I create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/example.com.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/example.com.conf
This is the default configuration, so, if access directly by IP of Server, you will be redirect to DocumentRoot of the first file (.conf) in sites-available folder, sorted by filename.
To have a default DocumentRoot folder when access by IP, you have to create a file named 0a.conf, then Apache will serve this site because this new file will be the first in sites-available folder.
You must create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/0a.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/0a.conf
To check serving order, use it:
sudo apachectl -S
Now, restart Apache, and check out it.
Obligatory - none of the previous answers worked for me. I inherited a strange combination of IP address-based virtual hosts and * vhosts (not assigned/catch all IP addresses) based virtual hosts in this Apache configuration messed up by ISPConfig.
I wanted Apache to serve not configured hosts with the same page.
I had: not configured hosts went to the first vhost after 000-default.conf. No matter I had *:80 catch all defined as the first vhost, instead of default Apache would load first defined site:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
Although it's not completely valid configuration, what finally worked was adding an IP address-based virtualhost without ServerName/ServerAlias defined:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.10:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.10:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
SSLEngine On
...
</VirtualHost>
$ apachectl -S outputs IP address-based vhosts first, and * based vhosts later, and finally my default site is loaded before real site:
AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed in the next release /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:50
192.168.10.10:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server server.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:34)
port 80 namevhost server.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:34)
port 80 namevhost some-site.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-some-site.tld.vhost:7)
...
46.23.86.103:443 is a NameVirtualHost
default server server.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:38)
port 443 namevhost server.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:38)
port 443 namevhost some-site.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-some-site.tld.vhost:182)
...
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server server.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost server.tld (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
Word of notice - in a configuration like this, * vhosts won't work, so you need to apply IP addresses to all vhosts.
An alternative setting is to have the default virtual host at the end of the config file rather than the beginning. This way, all alternative virtual hosts will be checked before being matched by the default virtual host.
Example:
NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80
...
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName host1
DocumentRoot /someDir
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName host2
DocumentRoot /someOtherDir
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /defaultDir
</VirtualHost>
I had the same issue. I could fix it by adding the following in httpd.conf itself before the IncludeOptional directives for virtual hosts. Now localhost and the IP 192.168.x.x both points to the default test page of Apache. All other virtual hosts are working as expected.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
Reference: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/name-based.html#defaultvhost
Only supported and correct answer is:
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
DocumentRoot "/www/default"
</VirtualHost>
or my own version to return 403:
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
<Location />
Require all denied
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
The NameVirtualHost option would be a good option.
The solution is:
# apache2.conf
# #warning this is specific to apache 2.2
NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80
# ...
# aaaa.example.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName aaaa.example
DocumentRoot /defaultDir
</VirtualHost>
# host1.example.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName host1.example
DocumentRoot /someDir
</VirtualHost>
# host2.example.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName host2.example
DocumentRoot /someOtherDir
</VirtualHost>
In my case, to work, I created a VirtualHost (n.e. VirtualHost per CNAME) called aaaa.example since I have different files for different VirtualHosts and knowing that Apache reads them in alphabetical order.
I have recently installed Apache 1.3.41 on a Windows Vista machine. I have not changed the default settings in httpd.conf aprart from trying to setup virtual hosts, as follows:
Added some host names in the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
#::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mysite
127.0.0.1 mydomain
I made the following folders in C:/Users/Moukasp/
C:/Users/Moukasp/Apache
C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite
Then added some simple html pages in each of those folder and the c:/Users/Moukasp/pictures folder and, finally, I added the following settings at the end of httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost localhost>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/Apache"
ServerName localhost
Alias "/pics" "c:/users/moukasp/pictures"
Alias "/ap" "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"
Alias "/dj" "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mysite>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mysite
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mydomain>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mydomain
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
So, urls
http://localhost
http://localhost/pics
http://localhost/ap
http://localhost/dj
http://mydomain
work fine. But I there's no response from http://mysite which, as can be seen from the settings, serves from the same folder as http://mydomain. I have tried various names but no response. The hosts file is being read every time I start the Apache server. I even removed the mydomain server from the hosts file and the httpd.conf lest there's a limitation in the number of virtual hosts, but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, els I go mad! It is true, I have being trying this after complete failure to make Apache work with mod_python for django! I just hoped that a step at a time would lead to some success!
Try:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
In your httpd.conf. My config file includes a comment stating a port-specifier should be used.
The VirtualHost and NameVirtualHost directives should have IP addresses and ports:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mysite
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Tried NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 but it doesn't make any difference! The only servers that work are localhost and mydomain.
I wonder whether I need to do something more than just declare the server name of each virtual host in the hosts file.
Try adding a port declaration to the hosts. For example:
<VirtualHost mydomain:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mydomain
</VirtualHost>
This is probably an easy question, but I want to understand better how Apache works with virtual hosts. I am setting up virtual hosts because I work on multiple websites at once and I don't want to use subdirectories. I was pretty much using the default Apache httpd.conf file with the DocumentRoot pointing to something like "/www". I uncommented the virtual hosts include and added the following:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.dev
DocumentRoot /www/site1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.dev
DocumentRoot /www/site2
</VirtualHost>
Now when I go to http://localhost I get the default page for site1.
I'm sure there is a reason why this makes sense, but I don't quite understand it. I would've thought that only requests that were explicitly to http://site1.test would get routed through that directive and it wouldn't just become the default. Can someone explain why it becomes the default.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html
(Should be true for 2.x also)
"If no matching virtual host is found, then the first listed virtual host that matches the IP address will be used.
As a consequence, the first listed virtual host is the default virtual host. The DocumentRoot from the main server will never be used when an IP address matches the NameVirtualHost directive. If you would like to have a special configuration for requests that do not match any particular virtual host, simply put that configuration in a container and list it first in the configuration file."
answer 1 is correct
and i'd add with namevirtualhosts as the first entry
essentially matches any not-named elsewhere virtualhost
it should ONLY be used to catch unintentional mal-formed and broken traffic
ie a machene with one ip called john.domain.com running www.domain.com and www.domain2.com as valid webservers on ip www.xxx.yyy.zzz might have an optimal config like thus
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/webserver/static-sites/unknown/
# a directory readable by apache with only a robots.txt denying everything
ServerName bogus
ErrorDocument 404 "/errordocuments/unknown-name.html"

Confirming that for Apache 2.x, the first virtual host (with the same port number) will be used if a matching virtual host is not found.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/details.html
"If no matching vhost could be found the request is served from the first vhost with a matching port number that is on the list for the IP to which the client connected"
You can always add this code below, put it right below NameVirtualHost *:80 so that your default document root is served by default if no other virtual hosts found.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /my/default/document/root
</VirtualHost>
Simply put this code at top in httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot d:/xampp/htdocs
<Directory "d:/xampp/htdocs/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
One way to do this is:
In your VirtualHosts configuration, enter the specific local site name you want to enable instead of using a wildcard:
<VirtualHost site1.dev:80> instead of <VirtualHost *:80>
Switch off NameVirtualHost *:80 which can be done by commenting it out in your vhosts.conf file
In your /etc/hosts file mention both aliases for the loopback IP:
127.0.0.1 localhost site1.dev
That's it. You should see that localhost goes to the default DocumentRoot as usual and the site1.dev goes to the site you've setup as virtual host.
