Hello,
I'm deploying my vueJs app with a vhost. Everything works fine when calling the page by the IP address. But when trying to visit the page by the ServerAlias it's not working. Using ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS.

Here's my testServer.conf (vhost configuration)


Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName testConnection.test
    ServerAlias www.testConnection.test
    ServerAdmin webmaster@test.de
    DocumentRoot /var/www/client/pvapp-client/dist

    <Directory /var/www/client/pvapp-client/dist>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All

        RewriteEngine on

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
        RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
        RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.html [NC,L]
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/test.com-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/test.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>


I also edited the hosts file like:
Code:
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.51.68   www.testConnection.test
192.168.51.47   www.testConnection.test


Also enabled the conf file with
Code:
sudo a2ensite testServer.conf


Thanks for all help.

Does your site respond as expected to both IP addresses, namely 192.168.51.47 and 192.168.51.68?

If so, you have two IP's allocated to www.testConnection.test, so which would you choose if you were trying to resolve ServerAlias? Locally, I'd say the first host entry would be chosen by Ubuntu.

Also. presume there's a host entry for testConnection.test too?

The first IP works, the second doesn't. So I guess I'd just remove it then.

What do you mean by host entry?

one host entry is

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost


Why do is testConnection.test and testConnection.test not in hosts file?
Also you can have / should have only one try per host name.

Okay, but I wrote testConnection.test in this file with the IP 192.168.51.47?
And 127.0.0.1 should be localhost, or not?

I removed the other.

on the server you only need 127.0.0.1 localhost in /etc/hosts

on the requesting client you need

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.51.47   testConnection.test
192.168.51.47   www.testConnection.test
