[users@httpd] Apache httpd.conf file

[Gary Manigault <ma...@dunncenter.org>]

I have attached a segment of my httpd.conf file for some questions that
I have.  
 
1.  The NameVirtualHost section should it have my servers IP address in
it or a star or should it be commented out?  What does the star in that
field mean.
2.  I also have  VirtualHost section at the bottom for a second website
on the same system.  It that set correctly?  Notice the Document Root
section.  Is that overridden if there is another DocumentRoot defined in
the conf file?  I am not getting the correct page.  I get one of the
error pages.
 
Thanks.

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on
your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most
configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry
about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives
below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/> >
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
 
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.50
#NameVirtualHost *
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost sharkattack.homelinux.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@gwshark.homelinux.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/gwshark
ServerName   shark
</VirtualHost>

The following doc explains very well what the how this works.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

Try changing
<VirtualHost sharkattack.homelinux.com>
to
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.50>
or put whatever IP is listening for that website.
