[users@httpd] VirtualHost and main setup

[Eric Wagar <ew...@yahoo.com>]

I'd like to set up the main area of my Apache server
to serve out requests for the IP #.  I currently have
the main area setup exactly like that of a VirtualHost
area, which servers up a domain.  (I'd like this
feature for easier maintenance.)

Or, I'd like everything enclosed within a VirtualHost
bucket.

I don't think the latter idea is feasible since Apache
will not know what to listen to/for.

Any ideas/leads are greatly appreciated!

Thanks
eric

Boyle Owen:
There are two ways you can go - depending on whether you want to declare
many aliases for your IP in DNS...

(1) If you do not mind paying for many Domain-Names which resolve to
your IP, then:

Use Name-based VirtualHosts, like this (assume your IP = 192.168.1.1 and
your sites are called www.site1.com, www.site2.com etc..):

	NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1

	<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1>
	  ServerName www.site1.com
	  DocumentRoot /home/site1/html
	  ... etc.
	</VirtualHost>

	<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1>
	  ServerName www.site2.com
	  DocumentRoot /home/site2/html
	  ... etc.
	</VirtualHost>

(2) Alternatively, if you can have only one Domain Name, use Aliases to
separate the document roots, e.g. (assuming your FQDN is www.mysite.com)

	Listen 192.168.1.1
	ServerName www.mysite.com
	DocumentRoot /home/default/html

	Alias /site1 /home/site1/html
	<Directory /home/site1/html>
	  Allow from all
	</Directory>

	Alias /site2 /home/site2/html
	<Directory /home/site2/html>
	  Allow from all
	</Directory>

Now http://www.mysite.com/site1 will go to /home/site1/html etc. NB
/home/default/html is necessary - this is where www.mysite.com ends up
(you can just put a simple page there with links to the other sites).

Rgds,

Owen Boyle

I'm sure this will help. ;-)
