Problems with virtual hosting on Apache... freebsd

I have edited the httpd.conf file to do virtual hosting. I have registered 3 domains, all pointing to the same ip, through zoneedit.com
This is how the name hosting part is configured on apache:


NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain1.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain1.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain2.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain2.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain3.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain3.com
</VirtualHost>

It's strange... because all of the domains I have pointed to the server go to /www/domain1... they don't go to their specified directories, but go to only one, domain1

I would appreciate some help.

>> all pointing to the same ip

So NameVirtualHost * that * should be that IP as well as the <VirtualHost your.ip.address.here>

>> because all of the domains I have pointed to the server go to /www/domain1

Say www.domain1.com is your default domain, you must remove DocumentRoot line that's not within any <VirtualHost> block.

Also, within each <VirtualHost your.ip.address.here>, there _should_ also be a <Directory "/www/domainx.com"> within it unless you have that defined globally (outside of <VirtualHost>).

I should have <Directory "/www/domain2.com"> inside the <VirtualHost> </VirtualHost> for domain 2? along with all the info I had before?

>> I should have <Directory "/www/domain2.com"> inside...

You must have it within <VirtualHost> or outside of <VirtualHost>. <Directory "/www/domain2.com"> must exists in your httpd.conf somewhere.

If the docroot of your default domain is /www, and domain2.com is a subdir of /www, then you don't have to because all the options and AllowOverride will be inherited from your default domain's docroot at /www.
