Virtuelhosts

I have a standard httpd.conf file and what to use virtuelhosts (NameBased as I have two Names pointing to the same IP.)

Problem is that my documentroot don't work. It doesn't override the old docroot. What can be wrong?

NameVirtualHost 212.212.12.121

<VirtualHost 212.212.12.121>
DocumentRoot d:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/contra
ServerName myserver.com
CustomLog logs/myserver.com-access_log #</VirtualHost>

Thx for your time.

1) I know nothing about Apache in win32 environment
2) d:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/contra, is this path under your default path or default docroot? If not, you also need a <Directory> block for this
3) What error? What didn't work exactly?

My default documentroot is d:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs

I don't get any error. It just don't overwrite the default documentroot.

I've tried to copy the directory settings for default documentroot (which works). I't doesn't help a bit.

The configuration of Apache on win32 is almost the same as on a *nix box.

Are you sure DocumentRoot d:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/contra could be unquoted?
In UNIX, you almost always have to quote the path if it has whitespace in the string or path ("d:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/contra")

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost 213.237.25.182
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost 213.237.25.182>

Next time you post your httpd.conf, don't post the lines that have been commented out (the ones begin with #).

You said It doesn't override the old docroot. What you mean by old? The default D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs?

>> NameBased as I have two Names pointing to the same IP

If you have two, configure two <VirtualHost> blocks (yes, your default server, too).

Suppose you have worldonline.dk as your default server and contradanmark.dk as a vhost:

1) Uncomment this line -> ServerName localhost
2) Change to Off -> UseCanonicalName On
3) Finally, add/change to:

NameVirtualHost 213.237.25.182
<VirtualHost 213.237.25.182>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"
ServerName worldonline.dk
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 213.237.25.182>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/contra"
ServerName contradanmark.dk
</VirtualHost>

After doing the motifications you suggested I got:
Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name uses 192.168.1.2

>>You said It doesn't override the old docroot. What you mean by old? The default D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs?

Yes, that is what I mean.

I'm grateful for your help

>> Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name uses 192.168.1.2

Put the following to C:\Windows\hosts file (create this manually if you have to)

192.168.1.2 defaultname worldonline.dk contradanmark.dk

And change the following:

1) Uncomment ServerName globally and set it to: defaultname
2) Change to: NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.2
3) Change to: <VirtualHost192.168.1.2>
4) Pinging 192.168.1.2 locally should return defaultname
5) Ping worldonline.dk (despite it's a real domain resolves to another IP) should return 192.168.1.2

Since you are testing this locally, you can simply append any domain name you want to that line in hosts file.

It works

Thank you very much for your time and help.

God Speed..

It don't work

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.2

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/tekk"
ServerName tekk.dk
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/tekk">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/contra"
ServerName contradanmark.dk
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/contra">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

It takes the first virtualhost's docroot and uses that as also the next virtualhost.

In my host file I have

192.168.1.2 contradanmark.dk tekk.dk

1) Put the <Directory> block within <VirtualHost> or define <Directory> sooner by moving its position in httpd.conf higher.
2) Your global docroot (not within <VirtualHost> should now be DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/tekk".
3) Make sure UseCanonicalName is off

That doesn't help

I did restart the Apache-server.

I have, as you told me to, set
UseCanonicalName off

If you want tekk.dk to be default:

1) Uncomment ServerName line from global
2) Alter your hosts file and change the order to: 192.168.1.2 tekk.dk contradanmark.dk
3) If ping returns tekk.dk, then that's the default ServerName and its <VirtualHost> block should go first.

When user enter www.tekk.dk, I want the server to load files from /tekk. When the user enter www.contradanmark.dk, I want the server to load files from /contra. Is that not what virtuelhosts is also about? Is that what we are trying to do?

Shouldn't ServerName be set to the ip-adr. for the two domains?
