Problems with virtualhost

Hi!

I'm having problems setting up virtualhost.

I've got two domains which points on my server dyndns host.

They both worked, but after a reboot, the second domain points to default one.

What am I doing wrong?

This is my 00_default_vhost.conf:
*see below*

take the comments out of your config file post
do
grep ^[A-Za-z0-9] /etc/apache...../../vhosts.conf

and then replace whats there with this

it will be much easier to see whats going on

Sorry about that. I've only added the second virtual host.

try commenting out the IFDefine directives, or move the closing one to the very end ( ie including both vhosts definitions ) and then restart apache

When I comment out the <ifdefine>-lines none of the domains work. If i put hte ifdefine bracket around both of them it still behaves as before, both domains points to the default one.

like this

Just tried that and I also double checked the values, still doesn't work.

One crazy thing I noticed is that the second domain returns another ip-address when I ping it. How could that be when it points on my server?

Nothing except that the default access_log get hits from both domains. I think i've found the problem though. I'm having trouble pointing the domains with cname to my dyndns host. I've pointed them directly to my ip-address. Just have to wait and see if that changes anything.

put your domain names in a clients /etc/hosts and point them to your server and see what happens

Didn't think of that, thanks. I'm still having the same problem though. I've tried with ifdefine on both and only on the first one. No errors in the log files either.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to get this to work?

thecooptoo · Veteran Joined: 27 Apr 2003 Posts: 1353 Location: UK

does it work using a client /etc/hosts to point he domain name to your server ?

whats the output of
cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf |grep vhosts

have you allowed access to each document root
eg something like in httpd.conf

It doesn't work by adding the domains to /etc/host or in windows host-file on another machine.

cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf |grep vhosts:

whats /etc/conf.d/apache2 and do you have vhosts in your USE flags

from the client can you ping your servernames and get the correct Ip address back ?

to check its not a permissions problem find , in /etc/httpd.conf the first Directive
<Directory />

and then change its contents to Allow from All
and then see what happens

if you get your web pages served correctly then its permissions problem

then CHANGE IT BACK and we can sort it out from there

I'm still having problems with my second domain. thecooptoo has been trying to help without any luck yet. The strange thing is that i've added two subdomains (subdomain to my default domain) and they work with the lines used for my second domain.

Any help is appreciated , thanks.

Okay, now my second domain works if I don't use www, why is that? Solved it by adding yet another vhost with ServerName set to www.domain2.se.

Yes, everything works now.

I have to set up two virtual hosts for the standalone domain though. One for domain.se and the other one for www.domain.se. Anyway, it works so i'm happy.

Thanks for your help.
