[users@httpd] Help apache 101
Hi,
I am new to the web server .... please help me with
this 2 questions.
1/ Setup the basic web server myhost.mydomain.com
2/ Setup the virtual host www.mydomain.com
My linux system hostname is: myhost.mydomain.com
IP: 1.2.3.4
DNS: www.mydomain.com CNAME myhost.mydomain.com
Please explain this:
If I use default DocumentRoot /var/www/html for
question #1, and use
VirtualHost with DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual for #2,
I no longer see the index.html file from
DocumentRoot of #1
Question #1 does not asked to use the Virtual host.
Can I just use the default DocumentRoot to config the
web server OR
have to use the Virtual host ?
Thanks
Tam

I think you need to read this:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html#using
which tells you that you need a <VirtualHost> section for every host
once you start to use NameVirtualHost. The DocumentRoot in the "main
server" no longer has an effect.
