Name Based Virtual Host help

**datamike** · 12-27-2002, 04:19 PM

[root@mike conf]# httpd -S
VirtualHost configuration:
65.112.18.137:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server www.ndxforum.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.co
nf:1209)
port 80 namevhost www.ndxforum.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd
.conf:1209)
port 80 namevhost www.datamike.net (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd
.conf:1216)

is what I get when I use the -S option. It looks like it is set up correct. I changed my DNS so both ndxforum.com and datamike.net are pointing at the same IP. I can access ndxforum.com but datamike.net shows me a page cannot be displayed. I changed my DNS on Wed, I think. I still can't resolve datamike.net though. Do you think that I just have to wait another day or do I need to change something in httpd.conf? I have been fighting with this for hours. I have tried every setup I know of. Please help.

Is this what you were hoping for to get ??
Make sure your virtualhost setting for your apache is something like this:

Code:

NameVirtualHost 65.112.18.137

&lt;VirtualHost 65.112.18.137&gt;
    ServerAdmin info@ndxforum.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/ndxforum.com
    ServerName www.ndxforum.com
    ServerAlias ndxforum.com
    ErrorLog logs/ndxforum.com-error.log
    CustomLog logs/ndxforum.com-access.log combined
    &lt;Directory &quot;/var/www/ndxforum.com&quot;&gt;
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
    &lt;/Directory&gt;
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

&lt;VirtualHost 65.112.18.137&gt;
    ServerAdmin info@datamike.net
    DocumentRoot /var/www/datamike.net
    ServerName www.datamike.net
    ServerAlias datamike.net
    ErrorLog logs/datamike.net-error.log
    CustomLog logs/datamike.net-access.log combined
    &lt;Directory &quot;/var/www/datamike.net&quot;&gt;
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
    &lt;/Directory&gt;
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

This is how I have my VirtualHost setup.

NameVirtualHost 65.112.18.137

<VirtualHost 65.112.18.137>
ServerAdmin mclark@nationaldentex.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName www.ndxforum.com
ServerAlias ndxforum.com
ErrorLog logs/ndxforum.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/ndxforum.com-access.log combined
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 65.112.18.137>
ServerAdmin datamike@datamike.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public_html/mike/
ServerName www.datamike.net
ServerAlias datamike.net
ErrorLog logs/datamike.net-error.log
<Directory "/var/www/html/public_html/mike/">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I notice that I also have
# Documents
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
UserDir public_html
IndexOptions FancyIndexing

up in the beginning of the file. Is this conflicting with the virtual host? I can't see any problems with this setup. Does anyone else see problems?

.....
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public_html/mike/
...
<Directory "/var/www/html/public_html/mike/">
...

No trailing '/' allowed in the DocumentRoot setting.
appart from that, I can't see why it wouldn't do anything..
is the user 'mike' having $HOME as /var/www/html? and are the settings on /var/www/html/public_html/mike, so that the nobody user can access it and read the files there ?
If the user dosn't have the /var/www/html as $HOME the UserDir setting wont interfere with this DocumentRoot setting on the virtualhost.
