Apache 22 vhosts

[joolzhaines]

Hi,

 

I am running apache 22 on Windows 2003, I have 10 domains which up to now I have been using host names to resolve which is working, I have recently been given five TCP/IP numbers and I want to secure one site with SSL. I have set my DNS server on all but one domain to use the same internet IP number and one to use its own IP number which I want to secure, if I change the host file as below

 

<VirtualHost 80.xxx.xxx.xxx>

ServerAdmin mail@mydomain.co.uk

ServerName  mydomain.co.uk

DocumentRoot /www/vhosts/www.mydomain.co.uk

ErrorLog    /www/vhosts/www.mydomain.co.uk/logs/error.log

</VirtualHost>

 

Instead of this the old way

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin mail@mydomain.co.uk

ServerName  mydomain.co.uk

DocumentRoot /www/vhosts/www.mydomain.co.uk

ErrorLog    /www/vhosts/www.mydomain.co.uk/logs/error.log

</VirtualHost>

 

When I change to using an IP I cannot resolve to the web site anymore? What am I doing wrong, is this correct for securing with SSL, my router is passing all numbers correctly.

 

Thanks for your help

Try 80.xxx.xxx.xxx:80.

 

 

Also, can you tell us if the site name resolves to the right IP address?

Hi,

 

No it does not resolve it goes to my default site instead, I have also tried using the :80

 

Does any know what I am doing wrong

Can I see the exact config?  Feel free to leave out the site name if you want.

Hi,

 

Here is the vhost file, when I change the 2nd host to use an TCP both address route to the first www.joolz.info domain, both hosts resolve to the correct TCP/IP so it must be something to do with apache not recognizing/resolving the TCP and defaulting to www.joolz.info

# Virtual Hosts

#

# 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://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/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.

#

 

# Tried with and without this line

# NameVirtualHost *:80

 

# Default Virtual Host --> \www\vhosts\localhost

#

# This Virtual Host serves two functions:

# 1) As the VH for http://localhost

# 2) As the default VH for all unknown hosts that resolve to this server

#

# Do not remove/edit this VH unless you know exactly what you are doing.

# Note that this should be the 1st VH Apache parses from the configuration files.

# Note that permissions for this VH's DocumentRoot are taken from httpd.conf

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

### PLACE NEW VHs BLOCKS ___ONLY___ ABOVE THE DYNAMIC/MASS VH BLOCK ###

### PLACE NOTHING BELOW THIS VH BLOCK OR LINE ###

Oh, when ever you use a NameVirtualHost directive, you can't use IP addresses with it.

 

 

Side note:  Couldn't you just use a port to know whether or not to use SSL?
