Topic: Virtual host

[timahri]

i have apache 2.2 up and running under domain.com . i would like to configure apache to host other sub domains on the same ip address.

i have read so much that i am either confused or cannot understand anything.

my question is where exactly in the config file do i have to put the virtual host script and what script exactly i would have to put there.

my main site doc root is in the ........apache....////htdocs directory and i have made another doc root in ........apache...///subdomain.

i ahve tried everything possible but everytime i go to my sub.domain.com it brings up my domain.com page..



i need some help badly.

do i need to modify my httpd config file for virtual host?? so that apache needs to look into v-host config file??

[mkhalemi]

[httpd.conf]

LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so

# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf


[httpd-vhost.conf]

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "/httpd-2.2-x64/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "/httpd-2.2-x64/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
