Re: [users@httpd] Virtual Hosting Woes....... (SOLVED (kind of))
Hi. thanks to all for your responses! After setting up a second server,
creating a default installation of Apache, and configuring it for vitual
hosts I've determined that the problem stems from my manually moving Apache
to /var. Apache runs fine, but the virtual hosts just don't want to work.
The conf file, directory structure, ownership and group membership are
identical with the exception of one being run from /usr/local and one being
run from /var/local. I use FreeBSD and install from the ports collection, so
I'm guessing that if I use a switch on the installation command to install
directly into /var and not play around with moving stuff manually that the
virtual hostig should work fine. If there are any fellow BSD users on this
list who can drop me a hint or two on the proper way to customize the
install from ports, it would be greatly appreciated.
One other question I had:
My virtual hosting directives work fine using the following <VirtualHost
192.168.0.202:*> for all of the virtual domains I've set up. I see from the
examples below AND from some friends of mine who run production Apache
servers in a corporate enviroment that the <VirtualHost > container can use
the domain name instead ofthe IP. However, the Apache docs say NOT to do
this because this causes Apache to do a DNS lookup to resove the domain name
in the VirtualHost directive, and if DNS is down that Apache won't start
correctly. Have any of you ever experienced this? What were the results?

Actually, he doesn't have to do that. I have one IP and my vhosts are

I have about 15 other vhost files, all in a similar format (some
simpler, some not).
