[users@httpd] virtual host precedence ?

[Roland Roland <R_...@hotmail.com>]

Can anyone help me out in understand how/why virtual host take 
precedence on the same ip ?
like i always face an issue where two distinct virtual hosts are set.
the first works, the second doesn't unless i bump it up so it becomes 
the first listed in the conf file.

   The first defined/created virtual-host serves as the default when 
nothing else matches. How are you defining your virtual-hosts?
Chances are you don't have them set up correctly.

example (* matches on any IP apache is bound on.):

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
    # when nothing else matches ServerName or ServerAlias, apache comes here
    ServerAdmin <email address>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/files"
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
    # matches on ServerName or ServerAlias
    ServerAdmin <email address>
    ServerName example2.com
    ServerAlias www.example2.com
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/files2"
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
    # matches on ServerName or ServerAlias
    ServerAdmin <email address>
    ServerName example3.com
    ServerAlias www.example3.com
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/files3"
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm
...
</VirtualHost>

   The 'NameVirtualHost *' directive may be located in your main apache 
(httpd) .config file, and your VirtualHosts could be in the same file or 
a separate .config file, or individual files themselves. If all together 
then make the first one point to a default setup (site map?, redirect?). 
If individual files then make sure the default VirtualHost filename is 
something guaranteed to be loaded first, like '000-default' or similar. 
I think my initial installation came that way.

The requests for each of the domains you host will go to the appropriate
virtual host. If you are asking about the ones that don't have a virtual
host then the first VirtualHost in the config file is the default one. All
