My site on http://localhost is just fine. My first virtual host, as specified in httpd-vhosts.conf is just fine ... but when I add a second, just a variant with an extra letter tacked on, Apache doesn't seem to try to serve it.
I did restart Apache after editing the file (Xampp on Windows 7)
My httpd-vhosts.conf says
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "o:/abc"
ServerName abc
ErrorLog "logs/abc-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/abc-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "o:/abc2"
ServerName abc2
ErrorLog "logs/abc2-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/abc2-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "f:/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
When I access http://lcoalhost or http://abc, everything is fine. When I try to access http://abc2 (the local directory does exist) my browser tries to load http://www.abc2.com
What might I be doing wrong?
Did you specify abc2 in your hosts file?

I declared in my DNS, my domain, subdomain1 and subdomain2, and everything works.
Then I create my directories like this :
/var/www/domain.com/public_html/index.html /var/www/subdomain1.domain.com/public_html/index.html /var/www/subdomain2.domain.com/public_html/index.html
Then I create : /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain1.domain.com
ServerAlias www.subdomain1.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain1.domain.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain2.domain.com
ServerAlias www.subdomain2.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain2.domain.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I disable the default configuration: sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
Then I activate each of the websites: sudo a2ensite domain.conf
I restart Apache 2: sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
The problem is that all links point to the first declared VirtualHost, even when I separate the VirtualHost declarations in separate .conf files, it will always be the first VirtualHost in the directory that will be opened for all DNS domains.
Apache will try to match the requested domain to one of the VirtualHost it knows about. When it cannot find a match, it will use the first one it read, top to bottom in the configurations. Hence here, your domains are not being recognized by Apache, and you get the first one all the time.
I modified your configuration a little bit:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain1.example.com
ServerAlias subdomain1.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain1.example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub1_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub1_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.subdomain2.example.com
ServerAlias subdomain2.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain2.example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub2_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sub2_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Details:
NameVirtualHost is only required if you run Apache 2.2. >2.4, it is automatic, no need to put it, it will work anyway.
ServerAlias is useful to define another domain name that applies to this VirtualHost. If you define ServerAlias == ServerName, it is useless.
Therefore, the ServerAlias are now configured with the domain names, without "www."
Split your log files. If you have 3 VH pointing to the same logs, it will be a real mess to debug. It makes it easier when split.
So with this configuration...
http://www.subdomain1.example.com and http://subdomain1.example.com will go to the 1st VH.
Similar for subdomain2
And http://www.example.com and http://example.com will use the third one.
This is based on your question and the comment where you say you tried example.com. In your configuration, example.com was not listed anywhere (i.e. www.example.com != example.com).
I have 2 sites linked to domains already.
For this I have 2 conf files into /etc/apache2/sites-available/:
<domain1>.conf
<domain2>.conf
With DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1 and DocumentRoot /var/www/domain2.
In addition, I need to setup the 3rd site direct linked to server IP.
For this I created conf file:
IP.conf (IP is IP of the server):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin <email>
ServerName <IP>
ServerAlias <IP>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Run:
sudo a2ensite <IP>.conf
And:
restart apache service.
But it doesn't help.
Could you advise how to configure routing?
The issue is the default Apache config always uses the IP address of the server. So that IP.conf will never be loaded.
You need to edit the default Apache config — located in sites-available — to make your changes.
Looking at your config, you are indicating the raw IP address for the ServerName and ServerAlias that will — effectively — defeat the purpose of setting up name based virtual hosts:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin <email>
ServerName <IP>
ServerAlias <IP>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
What happens in a case like this is the configs will be ignored because the default Apache setup will always defer to the IP address of the machine you are on. Heck, it would even use all network interfaces if your server has multiple IP addresses.
For name based virtual hosting to work, you must use the domain/host name in your config. Something like this for domain1:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin <email>
ServerName <domain1>
ServerAlias <domain1>
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And this for domain2
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin <email>
ServerName <domain2>
ServerAlias <domain2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain2
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Now for the IP address host config, you should go into your Apache config directory — /etc/apache2/ on Debian/Ubuntu or /etc/httpd/ on CentOS/RedHat — and look inside the sites-available directory. There should be a file named 000-default.conf:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
And make the changes you are showing in your IP.conf in there. At a most basic level just change the DocumentRoot to be this:
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress
Then restart Apache and it should be working as expected.
So I have 4 Virtual Host. I made the 3 Virtual Hosts 2 days ago and it
all works fine. When I made another Virtual Host the next day, it
won't load up the newly created Virtual Host. So I tried renaming the Server Name of my 1st Virtual
Host which is running.
I changed the ServerName and Alias of www.test1.biboglobal.com to hogehoge.com with still the directory of test1. Saved the file and restarted apache. But when I tried to browse hogehoge.com,it won't load the contents.
I tried browsing the test1.biboglobal.com and it still worked. But
that Server Name does not exist anymore because I changed it to
hogehoge.com.
I've searched all about httpd.conf not taking changes but found no answer. I hope someone can help me.
I also tried removing all Virtual Hosts and restarted Apache. But still, it was able to browse test1, test2, test3.biboglobal.com. Although it only displayed the Apache Test Page, not the index.html inside their respective directory.

I'm trying to enable multiple domains in my environment Development, but am not succeeding the way I tried below, at which point I'm wrong?
I installed httpd and changed DocumentRoot in httpd.conf to:
C:/Webserver/www
*I changed the Windows hosts file to(in Italics would like to access):
If I switch to 127.0.0.1 api.rotadorock the address resolves to www/ but the right is www/rotadorock/api.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 webserver
127.0.0.1/rotadorock/ecommerce rotadorock
127.0.0.1/rotadorock/api api.rotadorock
127.0.0.1/rotadorock/ecommerce ecommerce.rotadorock
127.0.0.1/rotadorock/mobile mobile.rotadorock
127.0.0.1/rotadorock/sistema sistema.rotadorock
127.0.0.1/rotadorock/social social.rotadorock
*Update(windows hosts file)
I removed the hosts file changes I mentioned above, because as #Volker Birk said are not necessary. But even so, still can not access as desire (api.rotadorock/ or localhost/api.rotadorock/ and should point to C:/Webserver/www/rotadorock/api). What could be wrong?
And finally changed httpd-vhost.conf for:
NameVirtualHost webserver:80
<Directory "C:/Webserver/www">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/Webserver/www"

CustomLog "logs/httpd-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/Webserver/www"
ServerAlias webserver

CustomLog "logs/httpd-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost rotadorock:80>

You don't need the hosts file. Have a look into the documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/name-based.html
Finally solved the problem. And I could just using the Windows hosts file and httpd-vhosts.conf httpd together.
Let me give an example of what was done to enable multiple subdomains accessing locally.
On Windows hosts file to add, for each domain and subdomain you want something like this:
127.0.0.1 api.rotadorock #my subdomain
127.0.0.1 rotadorock #my domain
And then the httpd-vhosts apache httpd:
# Accessing the API
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "C:/Webserver/www/rotadorock/api"
ServerName api.rotadorock
ServerAlias api.rotadorock
<Directory "C:/Webserver/www/rotadorock/api">
All Options Includes Indexes
</ Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# Accessing the domain
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "C:/Webserver/www/rotadorock/"
ServerName rotadorock
ServerAlias *.rotadorock
<Directory "C:/Webserver/www/rotadorock/">
All Options Includes Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And then that way I could access api.rotadorock/ and rotadorock/ locally. I tried all ways without the hosts file. But just gotta use it. If someone can explain to me how it should have done so it would not need to use the hosts I would be grateful.
I've got a site set up on localhost that I'm actively developing, and I'd like to set up a subdomain on localhost to make my life 10* easier.
I added this to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost i1.localhost:80>
ServerAdmin dummy#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/i1/"
ServerName i1.localhost
ServerAlias www.i1.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
Apache stats up fine, but when I navigate to http://localhost/ I'm seeing content from the i1 subdomain. http://i1.localhost/ works fine, however.
Then I tried doing this:
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerAdmin dummy#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost i1.localhost:80>
ServerAdmin dummy#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/i1/"
ServerName i1.localhost
ServerAlias www.i1.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
But that worked the opposite. On both localhost and i1.localhost I'm seeing content from C:/xampp/htdocs/.
Anyone got an idea what's going wrong?
Cheers.
Apache usually does not like a vhosts document root inside another vhost, try:
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
and
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/i1/"
