[users@httpd] virtual hosts on LAN with apache 2.0.47

[gowthaman ramasamy <go...@icgeb.res.in>]

hi list,
in my system apache(2.0.47) is running on Redhat 8 + P4.

I am trying to setup virtual hosts but in vein.

I would like to know is it possible to setup virtual hosts without valid
DNS names. Say if my system's IP is 192.168.1.13 (WITHIN LAN), can i set
two vhosts with the name  gowtham.myhost.com and sekar.myhost.com.

if yes is the following lines are correct ? do i have to do something in
/etc/hosts
 
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.13

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.13>
    ServerAdmin gowtham@icgeb.res.in
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/gowtham
    ServerName gowtham.myhost.com
    ErrorLog logs/host1.example.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/host1.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.13>
    ServerAdmin gowtham@icgeb.res.in
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sekar
    ServerName sekar.myhost.com
    ErrorLog logs/host2.example.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/host2.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

with the above configuration http://192.168.1.13 directly loads
index.html from /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/gowtham. But im not able to
acess /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sekar.

can any one help me ....


MANY THANX IN ADVANCE
gowtham

Apache doesn't really care if the names map to the ip address.  The
clients do.  If the client can't resolve the name->IP, then it won't know
how to access the server.  If you don't want to use DNS, you'll need to
modify /etc/hosts on all the client systems to map the names to the
relevant IP address.
