[users@httpd] Combinging static virtual hosts and dynamic VirtualDocumentRoot hosts
Running Debian Etch's Apache/2.2.3
I'd like to be able to setup virtual hosts, accessed via subdomains of
freecharity.org.uk for my users. So instead of
http://www.freecharity.org.uk/~james/ they'll be using
http://james.freecharity.org.uk/.
I already have some, statically defined, virtual hosts on subdomains of
freecharity.org.uk, for example webmail.freecharity.org.uk. My
configuration so far reads something like...
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.freecharity.org.uk
DocumentRoot /var/www/main/
...
</VirtualHost>
... numerous other virtual hosts ...
<VirtualHost *>
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/%1/public_html/
</VirtualHost>
However, james.freecharity.org.uk is serving pages from /var/www/main/
instead of /home/james/public_html/. If I place the VirtualDocumentRoot
statement outside of the VirtualHost it swallows up requests for defined
virtual hosts (tries to serve www.freecharity.org.uk from /home/www for
example).
Any suggestions as to how I should VirtualDocumentRoot to play nicely
with static virtual hosts?
Thanks,
James

That almost did the trick. www. was being served from /var/www/main and
james. from /home/james/public_html/ although some other predefined
subdomains weren't working.
Making sure that this last VirtualHost definition was the last defined
VirtualHost appears to have done the trick though :-)
Thank you,
James

Put a
ServerAlias *.freecharity.org.uk
in the last <VirtualHost>
