[users@httpd] domain point to apache
Hi,
If i point a new domain in my DNS to my web server running Apache 2.2. It
will automatically load the existing web site.
I have two sites already running on my server. I want to point a different
web site to my server it will show me the index pages of my already running
site. How can i manage this on Apache level that if i point a new site in my
dns to my web server it shows nothing unless define a Virtual Host for that
new site.
Which configuration i need on Apache side for implementing this
Regards
Nasir

If there is no matching virtual server, you will get the first virtual
server in your config file. Create a dummy virtual server as the first
entry and it will do what you want. Mine is:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName no.name
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>
That's the page you will get if you go to my server using the IP address
(for example). It gets a simple page that lists all the sites (current
and former). It's a way that I can still see sites that no longer have
a registered domain (such as my kid's baseball team from several years ago).
