[users@httpd] Name based Virtual Host configuration
Perhaps I don't fully understand the concepts involved, but I think I am having difficulties configuring name based virtual hosts.
I am using server version 2.0.40 on Red Hat 8.0, The servers local IP address is 192.168.1.100
The incoming traffic will be directed though a router to the 192.168.1.100 server.
The scenario I wish to cover:
I have two names www.asite.com and www.thesite.com
I have internic pointing both of those addresses at my outside address of 222.222.222.222
The pages that belong to www.asite.com are in /var/www/asite/html
The pages that belong to www.thesite.com are in /var/www/thesite/html
Could someone give me the entries in httpd.conf that would make that work.
I tried using (this is from memory mind you)
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.asite.com
/var/www/asite/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.thesite.com
/var/www/thesite/html
</VirtualHost>
But that gave me an error when I restarted the httpd service
Then I tried:
NameVirtualHost www.asite.com
NameVirtualHost www.thesite.com
<VirtualHost www.asite.com>
ServerName www.asite.com
/var/www/asite/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.thesite.com>
ServerName www.thesite.com
/var/www/thesite/html
</VirtualHost>
And that restarted fine, but it serves the default page
Then I tried: (cause I really don't understand the documentation)
NameVirtualHost www.asite.com
<VirtualHost www.asite.com>
ServerName 192.168.1.100
/var/www/asite/html
</VirtualHost>
And that served the default page
So then I tried:(cause I wanted to test it from an internal http request)
NameVirtualHost www.asite.com
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.100
<VirtualHost www.asite.com>
ServerName 192.168.1.100
/var/www/asite/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100>
ServerName 192.168.1.100
/var/www/asite/html
</VirtualHost>
And it served the page I wanted it to before. I am not exactly sure why...
If anyone can take a few moments to assist my understanding, It would make me quite happy :)

You might check your mail agent, and set word wrap to a sane value; 72
columns seems to work well.

This could very well be the blind leading the blind, but...
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.asite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/asite/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.thesite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/thesite/html
</VirtualHost>
Earlier in the config you have a Port directive, right?
Port 80
That should do it. Reread the manual, for a better handle on it.

look through the list archives for a post where the subject is
Specific Configuration
and the author is Boyle Owen
he put a perfect example of both name and ip based virtual host configuration in that post.
