[users@httpd] Problem with setting up virtual hosting. Ver. 2.0.54
Hi,
Can anybody help. I have tried the documentation. As far as I can tell, I've
set the virtual hosting correctly, but it isn't working, so obviously I
haven't.
The "main" webserver is working as intended, but the extra domains set out
in the <virtualhost> blocks are not.
Where should I start looking for a solution. No problems seem to be reported
in the log files. If I type the "virtual" domain name I get through to the
main server base page and am not redirected to the subdirectory.
I have tried a number of combinations including the simple:
Below
Listen *:80
I have
NameVirtualHost *:80
And in the second section I have:
ServerName www.vzhost.co.uk
In section 3 (Virtualhosting) I have the second block set to:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/noticeboard
ServerName www.norfolknoticeboard.co.uk
</VirtualHost>
Thanks for any help,
Maarten

Although a bit late, thank you for your assistance. I was able to get it
working.

If you want to verify what the client is sending, you need to log the Host
HTTP request header, which you can do by adding %{Host}o to your LogFormat.
But the most likely problem in this case seems to be that you are editting
the wrong config file or haven't properly restarted your server of something
of the like. Because once a NameVirtualHost *:80 exists, the DocumentRoot
specified in the main server configuration should *never* be used.

If I access www.vzhost.co.uk which is the main server it goes through to the
base directory as required. If I access www.norfolknoticeboard.co.uk it goes
through to the base directory (www.vzhost.co.uk) as well when I actually
want it to go to ...html/noticeboard which can also be accessed by
www.vzhost.co.uk/noticeboard.
It is almost as if the request for the norforknoticeboard.co.uk isn't
getting the referral address through? There is no mention of it in the log
files. Is that normal?
Thanks for your help.

What happens when you try to access them?
As the docs say, once you include a "NameVirtualHost *:80", the "main"
host shouldn't serve any requests anymore. All requests should be served by
<VirtualHost>s.
