httpd.conf
Dear users,
I have followed many of the recommended paths for information on
VirtualHosts, specifically name-based virtual hosts, but I can't seem to
make my configuration work the way I intend - any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Facts:
I am a standard user (not <root>, and no admin priviledges> on a Linux
installation (like http://linux.mho.org). I was able to
download/compile/install Apache 1.3.12 in my own directory structure and can
run the http server on port 8080. I have registered two domain names and
forwarded the names to the IP address of the (ficticious) address above...
no problem.
Here's the challenge:
My NameVirtualHost points to my IP address (excluding the port).
I use the Listen directive to cover port 8080 (and 9000 just for
excitement).
In each of my two (2) <VirtualHost> containers, I have ServerName,
DocumentRoot, and ServerAlias defined - one (1) for port 8080 (default) and
the other for port 9000.
Now, when I try to access my URL, I get (following the example above)
http://linux.mho.org:8080 in the address bar, and the correct content that I
point it to (using DocumentRoot). But the second <VirtualHost> doesn't
appear to work (for my other registered name and settings).
-> How can I set up my httpd.conf to accept requests for www.smartin.com and
www.martins.com using the same IP address?
tia!!!
Steve

Thanks for the help Owen... my configuration looks very much like your
suggestion - without the port designation. Problem still remains, even
though I added the port. When I try to access the second site, I still get
the content from the directory in the first <VirtualHost> container.
The reason I want to know how to capture the request, is so I can configure
my <VirtualHost> to match the request... instead of the other way around.
Thank you again! All help is greatly appreciated.
Steve

Virtual Hosting is whenever a single instance of the webserver serves
two separate sites. It can be:
- name-based: Sites have different names but same IP and port
- port-based: sites have same IP but different ports
- IP-based: sites have different IPs
Only for name-based do you need the NameVirtualHost directive.
for example, consider the user's original question:

> > 2> what would my <VirtualHost> entry(s) look like?
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
ServerName s-martin.com
DocumentRoot /home/html/s-martin-stuff
TransferLog logs/s-martin_access_log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
ServerName martin-s.com
DocumentRoot /home/html/martin-s-stuff
TransferLog logs/martin-s_access_log
</VirtualHost>
> > Bonus question, How do I tell which request is coming? (i.e.
s-martin.com
> > <or> martin-s.com)
See use of different TransferLogs above.
PS: This assumes the user has different content to serve on the two
sites. If in fact they are just aliases of the same site then he only
needs one VH;
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
ServerName s-martin.com
ServerAlias martin-s.com
DocumentRoot /home/html/s-martin-stuff
TransferLog logs/s-martin_access_log
</VirtualHost>

I may be *way* off on this, but don't you simply need to set your router up
to point http traffic from port 8080 at your server?
AFAIK (and I've been asking similar questions lately) port mapping has

I am getting my configuration to work without specifying the port - at least
the server doesn't complain - but I still can't get to my second
<VirtualHost>.
Question below still pending...
