A little help with a virtualhost problem

[kaltag]

Good afternoon. I'm trying to get 2 different websites running on my gentoo server running apache2. I have the primary page working which is www.newpantheon.com but the other site ww.smellykidgroup.com isn't working correctly, it goes the first site. I have both domain names registered through Yahoo and they are forwarding the domainname to my IP. I was told that it was possible to setup apache to send the traffic to the appropriate virtualhost by looking at the domainname that the request is looking for. I have tried for 3 days now and can't seem to get it working. I hope I'm explaining what I'm trying to do in a way you understand. Here is my vhosts.conf file. I relaize I don't have anything setup in it because I don't know if I need IP based or name based virtual hosts.


#DocumentRoot /home/jmdault/public_html
#ServerName test2.com
#Setenv VLOG /home/jmdault/logs
#ErrorLogs /home/jmdault/test2-error_log
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteOptions inherit
#</VirtualHost>

################# Named VirtualHosts

#<VirtualHost 111.222.33.44>
#ServerName www.domain.tld
#ServerPath /domain
#DocumentRoot /web/domain
#</VirtualHost>

Here is my apache2.conf file

# Splitting up apache2.conf into two files makes it easier to support
# multiple configurations on the same serer. In commonapache2.conf
# you keep directives that apply to all implementations and in this
# file you keep server-specific directives. While we don't yet have
# multiple configurations out-of-the-box, this allows us to do that
# in the future easily. (PERLPROXIED *ahem*)
#
# For Apache2 we load all conf files in conf/modules.d

I appologize for the long post and any help is appreciated. If anyone knows of a site that has a useful HOWTO or guide on what I'm trying to setup I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thank you.

Your conf should look something like this:

[kaltag]

Thanks. That almost has it running now. If I have a single entry in the vhosts.conf file it will work for either site but not both. Is there anything I have to modify in the apache2.conf file? When I restart apache I get a warning but it still runs that says "[Sat Nov 20 19:47:04 2004] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts" Here is my updated vhosts.conf file.

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs
ServerName newpantheon.com
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs">
Allow from all

You don't need 2 NameVirtualHost *:80 -- just put 1 at the top.

[kaltag]

Thanks again. That fixed the apache warning error. I am still having the problem with only the first host in the list comming up. In other words www.newpantheon.com and www.smellykidgroup.com both bring up the newpantheon.com site unless I have the smellykidgroup.com virtualhost first then smellykidgroup.com comes up for both sites. Any ideas what might be going on there?

I have the same issue as well. I'm trying to figure it out.

[midknight_gentoo]

instead of *:80

i use the ip of the server..
ie: 10.10.10.150:80

for both the name directive and the virtual hosts.... works like a treat.

I tried putting the main domain, which is the server name, jump.com as the virtual host instead of 192.168.0.6 but it had the same result. I still get jump.com's stuff when trying to access online.com's material. But when I type int online.com I get the outside IP address.

Any Ideas?

I tried not using the Vhosts.conf file and just putting the information into the apache.conf. But that didn't work either.

Any Ideas?
