Topic: Virtual Host driving me nuts....

[Bob B.]

I have Apache2.2 running on Windows NT. Here is my Virtual Host blocks:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/docs/www.civilwarfakes.com
ServerName www.civilwarfakes.com
CustomLog /www/docs/www.civilwarfakes.com/access.log combined
ErrorLog /www/docs/www.civilwarfakes.com/error.log
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/docs/www.scspublications.com
ServerName www.scspublications.com
CustomLog /www/docs/www.scspublications.com/access.log combined
ErrorLog /www/docs/www.scspublications.com/error.log
</VirtualHost>

I have 2 domains on a single IP address. civilwarfakes.com works fine. But when I want to visit scspublications.com, I get civilwarfakes.com index.htm page in the browser instead. For some reason, sbspublications.com always defauts to civilwarfakes.com

To verify my DNS were resolving correctly, I changed the config to listen to both ports 80 and 8080. I then changed the second virtual host block to 8080. I put in the URL scspublications.com:8080/index.htm and then got the correct page.

This setting, ServerName bob.civilwarfakes.com:80 is in the config but I believe the virtual host block overides it. I read somewhere in the Apache Docs. that SeverName in the first virtual host block should match the default SeverName but I tried that also and it didn't make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to your suggested changes, I'm getting closer.
Now I get the "docs" directory instead of the subfolder:
"Index of /
www.civilwarfakes.com/
www.scspublications.com/ "

Any other suggestion?

Forgot to mention. I didn't see NameVirtualHost in your suggestion so I removed it.

Since with your changes, I got the docs directory, I changed the DocumentRoot near the top of the config page from:
DocumentRoot "C:/www/docs/"
to:
DocumentRoot "C:/www/docs/www.civilwarfakes.com"

Now I am back to the original problem where both urls go to civilwarfakes.com

Oh sry NameVirtualHost should still be used.

[Bob B.]

This may help. This error was in the scspublications error log:

"[Sun Sep 17 17:30:15 2006] [error] (OS 11004)The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. : Could not resolve host name www.scsbublications.com -- ignoring!"

Guess it might help if you could see my httpd.conf file. I put it on a website so it would be easier to check:

http://cwrelics.com/httpd.htm

Thanks again,

Bob

Sorry but because of the "<" in the config, it dropped a lot of lines on the web page so I removed most of the comments so it wouldn't be so large:
