Hi All,
I have been working with Apache and PHP for some years now, but this has mainly been in a Linux envrionment. Recently I've tried to install Apache (with SSL) on Windows 7... with no luck.
I want to have a Virtual Domain setup for two domain: fernsolutions.biz and shebaweavers.com
Here is my hosts file:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 fernsolutions.biz
127.0.0.1 shebaweavers.com |
Here is my httpd.conf file:
| Code: | ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
|
Moderators note: removed unneeded config per forum rules
And here is my httpd-vhosts.conf file:
| Code: | NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Websites/fernsolutions.biz/htdocs"
ServerName fernsolutions.biz:80
CustomLog "C:/Websites/fernsolutions.biz/access_log" common
ErrorLog "C:/Websites/fernsolutions.biz/error_log"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Websites/shebaweavers.com/htdocs"
ServerName shebaweavers.com:80
CustomLog "C:/Websites/shebaweavers.com/access_log" common
ErrorLog "C:/Websites/shebaweavers.com/error_log"
</VirtualHost> |
However whenever I go to http://shebaweavers.com the default "It works" comes up and NOT the website I'm pointing too.
I have noticed that when I run the httpd -S I get the following:
| Code: | httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.2 for ServerName
VirtualHost configuration:
Syntax OK |
Any ideas? |

the error seems odd since localhost is the ServerName in the main config.
first vhost however:
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>
per "Main host goes away" section, tho not what most folks experience;
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
The key words there are "first VirtualHost should be a duplicate of the main host"
_default_ is mentioned elsewhere and <Virtualhost *:80> would work as well.
Just first vhost has to be same location as main host (ServerName in httpd.conf). It becomes the default virtual host. If you added to your hostfile
127.0.0.1 junk.domain
and never configured any special place for that to go in Apache, http://junk.domain would end up showing what was at the _default_ location, in this case "It Works!" |

Hi glsmith,
Sorry about including all the comments in the config file... should have really read the forum's rules on that. 
I've tried what you've suggested and now have added the following lines to my httpd-vhosts.conf file:
| Code: | <VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost> |
I also tried it adding it like this:
| Code: | <VirtualHost localhost:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost> |
But sadly I still get the same error mentioned in the first post. Any ideas? |
