Re: Virtual hosts problem (to Joshua, Raquel, and RuneImp)
Joshua (and Raquel):
I use register.com for my registrant; they have a "domain alias" section
where you can configure various aliases for the domain name. I believe by
default www. and ftp. both resolve to the basic hostname (and I have no
problems with either of the two).
As I mentioned in the previous email, I configured bishop.troop85.org to
point to bishop.troop85.org. That sounds odd to me and I wonder if that is a
problem. Both of you mentioned DNS configuration; since www.troop85.org
works I assumed that the DNS works fine and anything else would be left up
to the "domain aliases" and my server. Is this incorrect?
I am starting to believe that I need to do something else on my server here.
What should my /etc/hosts file look like for such a configuration?
------------------
To RuneImp,
How do I see what my CNAME entries are? Where do I look? Are you talking
about my local setup on my server? Keep in mind that I don't do my own DNS.
This is just a small FreeBSD box serving through my cable modem.

Put your VirtualHost directives as I wrote earlier and
you should be set as soon as the DNS propagates... :)

RuneImp,
So apache knows how to do that? Ok, I removed the
bishop.troop85.org ---> bishop.troop85.org
...and only left the entries
bishop.troop85.org ---> troop85.org
ftp.troop85.org ---> troop85.org
...in the domain alias configuration. I suppose I'll wait for that to
propagate and see what turns up. So in my configuration file should I put
the entry for bishop.troop85.org first? And my /etc/hosts file....that
remains untouched?
Thanks again,
David

You will need to setup the "bishop" subdomain at register.com
if they handle the DNS for your domain. Just have it point to
your base host name or IP address. Then the Apache VirtualHost
directives can do the rest.

Where does bishop.troop85.org point to? Itself? Do you control the aliases
from your server, or does register.com? You either have to forward all
hostnames (*.troop85.org) to your server IP, or individually forward names
(whatever1.troop85.org, whatever2.troop85.org, etc etc.) to the same IP.
