[users@httpd] Transitioning virtual hosts from Netscape...

[Ricardo Stella <st...@rider.edu>]

Hello,

I'm transitioning from an old Netscape Enterprise Server to Apache2.2. 
One problem I'm having is with virual hosts (name base, same IP
address/port)

Netscape's Software Virtual Server allow you to define a specific home
page for a virtual host.  In this case, the structure was set us:

http://virutalhost

would actually load:

http://virtualhost/virtualhost/index.html

But everything within the virtualhost directory was based on realhosts's
root, and not based on virtualhost's root.  Kind of instead of setting a
different server root, it would instead set a different location for
index.html.

Would I have to implement this based on a rewrite rule or is there
something basic I'm missing ?

TIA...

I think you are looking for mod_vhost_alias.
