Apache- Multiple Website/Virutal Host

[lipton112]

(Note- This is running on a windows platform)

Okay wait, let me start over. I think I have made some progress so far from before.

 

 

 

So far, from the box I want tot host these sites on will only have (1) IP. So, in that case I am going to use the following code in my httpd.conf file for Apache. PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS CORRECT. (Note- leagedns.com is the main site, but I want to add another subdomain named option-gaming.leaguedns.com).

 

 

 

NameVirtualHost *:80

 

#<VirtualHost *:80>

# ServerAdmin [email protected]

# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com

# ServerName dummy-host.example.com

# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log

# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common

#</VirtualHost>

 

#<VirtualHost *:80>

# ServerAdmin [email protected]

# DocumentRoot “C:/Documents and Settings/lipton/Desktop/ApacheServerFiles/sub1”

# ServerName option-gaming.leaguedns.com

# ErrorLog logs/mysite.error_log

# CustomLog logs/mysite.access_log common

#</VirtualHost>

 

 

 

 

*******All the files for the sub-domain I want to be in a folder called sub1.

 

 

 

Also corosponding with this will be anther config file placed in your windows/system32 folder named HOSTS. In this file, it tells me:

# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

 

127.0.0.1 localhost

24.10.245.23 option-gaming.leaguedns.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*********Is that right?

First things first:

 

go to the command prompt and type:

ping dummy-host.example.com

 

and

 

ping option-gaming.leaguedns.com

 

if they dont return the ip address of your apache - no apache configing will work.

Whats this changing your hosts file that you are doing? Who said to do that? You know - by doing this your site will ONLY work from YOUR pc!

If the above pings work and return the correct ip - you need to go to a friends pc down the road etc. and try it from his to see if the domain name resolves to your ip address. ONLY when ping returns the correct ip - can apache take it from there. Im saying this - because: once you have your domainname resolving to your ip - it makes setting and testing your vhost config MUCH easier.

 

Also - a quick glance reveals:

# ServerAdmin [email protected]

# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com

 

and

# ServerAdmin [email protected]

# DocumentRoot “C:/Documents and Settings/lipton/Desktop/ApacheServerFiles/sub1”

 

Pick 1 directory path - linux or windows.

 

Take a look at: http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Apache_2_%26_SSL_-_PHP4_-_MySQL_4.1

 

It might be a bit advanced. Check firstly if your ip resolves, then post back here.
