Topic: vitual host does not go to document root.....

[precopia]

Here is my Apache config file.... Can anyone tell me why Virtual Hosts all go to my main Document Root and not the Document Root I have then set for in the Virtual Host container?


# 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.61:80>
ServerName support.umdf.org
ServerAlias umdf.org *.umdf.org
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.62:80>
ServerName www.carolinesonmymind.com
ServerAlias carolinesonmymind.com *.carolinesonmymind.com carolinesonmymind.org *.carolinesonmymind.org
DocumentRoot "C:\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\carolinesonmymind"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.63:80>
ServerName podcast.umdf.org
ServerAlias *.podcast.umdf.org
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.64:80>
ServerName connect.umdf.org
ServerAlias *.connect.umdf.org
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

...

ok ... fist off, do you really have 4 NICs in the server to give you the 4 IPs of

192.168.0.61
192.168.0.62
192.168.0.63
192.168.0.64

no, i can run the all off the main ip of .61 if that would be better.... it doesn't solve my problem though.....

[glsmith]

well ... listening to IPs that do not exist cannot help so yes, just the one or * works as well.

I also notice that config/podcast/support.umdf.org all point to the same docroot. There is nothing wrong with that but from what I see they will all get the same thing, unless you use DirectoryIndex in each to tell Apache to grab something other than the main index.html/php file or are doing similar with the php script. But that is not stopping anything.

The problem can be traced down to the ol'
"Main Host Goes Away" in one of the vhosts docs

Try

Listen 80

Move the Vhosts down near the bottom of the file and change the IPs to just * in each one of them.


make the first vhost simply

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

then throw the rest below it

This is my new config and when i go to www.carolinesonmymind.com it still takes me to the default document root.....

Admin note
Config removed, see forum rules.

[glsmith]

did you retsart apache?

And please do not post your entire config per forum rules.
main servername/docroot and vhosts will do in most cases

[precopia]

sorry..... and yes, i did restart..... i just did again and still nothing.....

I saw my config was deleted.... Here is the part I modified....\
