Topic: Apache only recognize one domain...

[javier_ns]

Hi.!! I had created some webpages for a couple of friends, and I decided to get a dedicated (A fortatrust promotion $10) so I can manage them myself..
The server came with CentOS 6, apache and Mysql preinstalled, so I just had to install webmin, the ftp users, and the virtualhost as follow:

NameVirtualHost 190.130.XXX.XXX
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/home/webpage1/web"
ServerName www.webpage1.com
ServerAlias *.webpage1.com
<Directory "/home/webpage1/web">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/home/webpage2/htdocs"
ServerName www.webpage2.com
ServerAlias *.webpage2.com
<Directory "/home/ webpage2/htdocs">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/home/webpage3/web"
ServerName www.webpage3.com
ServerAlias *.webpage3.com
<Directory "/home/webpage3/web">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


After that, I restart the apache.. then, in Godaddy, I forwarded the domains to my server IP, but It doesnt matter wich of the 3 web addresses I type, it always take me to the webpage1, so I got a couple of questions:
Do I need to set up something more, for apache to handle the virtualhosts..?
Ist better to forward the domains or to redirect to a NS address..?
In order to create a NS address in my server, I need to install BIND or it can be done in other way?
Thanks in advance for all your help..!!

Try:

NameVirtualHost *

And also you have to define as first a so called default vhost:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName Default (what ever)
DocumentRoot C:/Apache2x/htdocs (what ever and put there a HTML page)
</VirtualHost>
...
...
<VirtualHost *>
...
...

It will be the one to answer anything pointing to your IP that does not match any configured ServerName on the server.
