Mod_vhost_alias

[loki_22]

Hi,

 

I need help setting up multiple vhosts. I've read the apache docs, but I'm still having trouble. I've set my dns with a wildcard, so all subdomains are mapped to my web server's IP. I've then setup a vhost as follows...

#example.com
<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin me@example.com

    ServerName example.com
    UseCanonicalName Off
    VirtualDocumentRoot "/home/www/%2"
    ErrorLog /var/log/example.com-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/example.com-access_log common

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

    #PHP Go!
    suPHP_Engine On

</VirtualHost>

 

I'm trying to catch the subdomain and use it to map to a directory. I've already accomplished this with mod_rewrite, but my users much prefer having vanity sub domains.

 

So far any subdomain tries to map to the / directory and it throws a 403.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

To use VirtualDocumentRoot you would need to have an existing directory (of the same name) for each subdomain to map too, is this the case?

Yes,

 

The idea is that lar.example.com maps to /home/www/lar and ken.example.com maps to /home/www/ken. These directories exist.

 

Is the %2 right? for catching the subdomain part. I only need the subdomain to map to the correct folder.

Anybody?

Try %1 instead of %2.
