[users@httpd] Virtual Host Issue

Hi Everyone:
I configured my webserver with apache2 (redhat 8).
I have the following problem:
I configured a virtual host and the main server document root.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin root@solsis.com.ar
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/squirre
    ServerName webmail.solsis.com.ar
    ErrorLog logs/squirre_error.log
    CustomLog logs/squirre.log common
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that when I browse www.solsis.com.ar it sends me to the
virtual host.
I fixed this by configuring other virtual host named www.solsis.com.ar.
I'm sure this is not the right way.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

No, that is exactly correct!  When using virtualhosts, it is best to use
them for everything - don't serve a website from the main server config.


Cheers,

Re: [users@httpd] Virtual Host Issue

When Virtual hosts are defined, any requests for a host NOT defined as
a virtual host go to the first VirtualHost defined.

So if you use other CNAMES, or an IP address to reach this server,
those requests will all go to whatever VirtualHost is defined first.

Since webmail.solsis.com.ar is the only VirtualHost, all requests go
there.

So define www.solsis.com.ar as a VirtualHost, but put it first in the
list if you want it to be the default.

Putting it second will work for that name, but not if you want to use
other names or IP address.
