[users@httpd] No Luck wuth VirtualHosts
Hello:
I'm having no luck with virtual hosts.
I have a domain name: myDomain.com and a sub-domain name: test.myDomain.com
I would like myDomain.com to go to /var/www/sites/prod and
test.myDomain.com to go to /var/www/sites/dev
My hosts file reads: 127.0.0.1 myDomain.com localhost.localdomain localhost
asus
(do I need a test.myDomain.com in here?)
My httpd.conf has this:
listen 80
ServerName myDomain.com:80
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/prod
ServerName myDomain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/dev
ServerName test.myDomain.com
</VirtualHost>
What happens is that either test.myDomain.com or myDomain.com go to the
first VirtualHost whichever one I put first.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Ken

No, that shouldn't be necessary.
The most likely cause of this is that the cable modem is stripping (or
rewriting) the Host header and not simply forwarding packets. That
means that apache doesn't have the information to do name-based
virtual hosting. You can confirm that by logging the Host header in
the access log.

That will probably be the application. Often you need to configure
somewhere what the base URL is that it is being served from.
Do the pages contain relative or absolute links?

Hmm.. Ok. Thanks, Krist

mod-rewrite does not touch anything going from your server to your
client. If your clients get webpages with the wrong absolute url's in
them, than this is because the webpages contain these absolute URLs,
or the application generating the webpages generates these URLs.

Yes, I do configure the base URLs, and I have set them up for each
directory, but one keeps getting precedence. The links are resolving to
absolute URLs. Could this be a mod-rewrite issue?

OK, now the initial page is opening at the right directory, but all the
follow on links are reverting to only one directory. Could this be an
Apache problem or is it my configs for the application I'm using?

Ken,
Try adding a "ServerAlias" directive to each of your
vhost containers. So add:
ServerAlias MyDomain.com (to the MyDomain vhost)
ServerAlias test.MyDomain.com (to the test vhost)
Then restart apache and see if that helps.
Thanks

Both myDomain.com and test.myDomain.com point to the IP address of my cable
modem. (They have real names I'm not showing here.)

Yes.

Yes I believe you do. Though it maybe should go through a DNS server,
but this isn't a live domain. So that will work.

I'm not totally with it, though it should work from what I'm seeing
there. Are you restarting the server after every change? Apache only
reads the config file when it starts up, or when it recieves a SIGHUP (I
think that's right). So you need to be sure you're doing that.
