[users@httpd] Virtual host questions . . .
I'm sure these are very common questions, so if there is a web page that
answers them, please feel free to direct me to it . . .
I'm trying to set up apache 1.3.12 on Linux using my cable modem,
linksys router, and an dynamic DNS service. I've got the basic
configuration working using port 431 (my cable company blocks port 80) .
. . you can see a test page at: www.beyondtranslations.com.
Now I'm trying to add name-based virtual hosting. I've been studying a
couple books, but nothing seems to work. I always get the default test
page. Here's what I *think* should work:
Listen 431
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.beyondtranslations.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bt
</VirtualHost>
In the error log I get:
[warn] NameVirtualHost * has no VirtualHosts
I've tried several variations on this theme, including using the ip
address of the machine, including the port number (like *:431 or
192.168.1.102:431), etc, but no luck.
The dynamic DNS service translates www.beyondtranslations.com to
ww2.beyondtranslations.com:431, so I suspect that is part of the
problem, but no idea what to do with that information!
I'm sure I'm missing the combination that works, or missing some key
ingriedient. Any hints much appreciated!
Brgds: John

Thanks Joshua and Rich. Between the two of you, I got it working. I
needed to use the ip address of my machine (instead of *), add the port
address, and use ww2.beyondtranslations.com as the server name.

Not also that this is an incredibly old version of apache that does not
support "NameVirtualHost *" at all.

Many vhost questions can be answered by looking at the Apache vhost
docs, at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts and, in particular, the
examples document.

Because you are on port 431, you probably want
NameVirtualHost *:431

And here, you would then have
<VirtualHost *:431>

Ah. Hmm. Well, that's unexpected.

The ServerName in the <VirtualHost> Section needs to match the name that
the server is accessed as, or you will get the default (in this case,
first-listed) virtual host. So, based on this information, you almost
certainly need
ServerName ww2.beyondtranslations.com
in your vhost section.
