Hi All,

I need some help to configure my Red Hat 7 server to support name-based
virtual hosting for two web domains, using Apache 1.3.12 (bundled with RH7).
I have only one IP address which is dynamically allocated. I have tried the
following in my httpd.conf file:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.foo.com
DocumentRoot /home/foo/html
...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtalHost *>
ServerName www.bar.com
DocumentRoot /home/bar/html
...
</VirtualHost>

When I restart Apache after making these changes both www.foo.com and
www.bar.com end up going to the same document root. The server does not
process the requests to their respective directories.
I've tried in vain to use the samples given at Apache's website for how to
setup name-based virtual hosting, but it does not work. As for my web
browser, it is HTTP 1.1 compliant and it is enabled, as required.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Regards,
Richard

Well, the dynamically-allocated IP address does pose a bit of a problem,
but you might be able to get around it. I don't see anywhere in the Apache
documentation that it says that the <VirtualHost> directive will accept a
"*"
as the argument. As I read it, that field needs to either be an address or
a
Fully-Qualified-Domain-Name (FQDN). Since your IP address is not constant,
it will be a real pain to edit the config file each time you get a new
address. So
I would try putting in the *full* name of your machine after the VirtualHost
keyword.
Making this work will pose some additional troubles:
1. you will have to be sure that your name service can resolve the given
name,
or else you will not be any better off than before. If you have DHCP up and
working
right, I think it will inform your named when a new IP address is assigned.
2. if you expect that *outside* users will be able to access the web
server
in this situation, you will need to deal with some service like Dynamic DNS,
to
inform the rest of the Internet of the (current) IP address for all of your
hosted
domains.

Actually, I got it working! Appearantly, name-based virtual hosting using a
dynamic IP only works with Apache 1.3.14-3, which I upgraded to from Red
Hat's site.

Everything is alive and well!

Now I have to get Sendmail and FTP to work with virtual hosting (:

Use following configurations ....

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 www.foo.com
127.0.0.1 www.bar.com

==================================

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf add following lines at bottom of this file

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost www.foo.com>
ServerName www.foo.com
DocumentRoot /home/foo/html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.bar.com>
ServerName www.bar.com
DocumentRoot /home/bar/html
</VirtualHost>

Hi,

We have two computers connected via their Ethernet cards, and are trying to
make them talk to each other. We hope you can help!

Both kernels are correctly configured (automatically detected by Mandrake)
and we have set up the interfaces as follows:

I am "192.168.0.1" and the other computer is "192.168.0.2". (We configured
ourselves via linuxconf)

We have both done
route -add 192.168.0.0 eth0

The output of "route" for me is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
demon-du.demon. * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default demon-du.demon. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

The output of ifconfig for me is:

]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:05:E2:F9:BE
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:231 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:462
collisions:3927 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe000

For the other computer, the results for route as follows.

netstat -rn
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt IFace
192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0. 255.255.255..0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Our problem is that we can't make the computers even recognise each other's
IP address: pinging each other via 192.168.0.1 (or 2) or the broadcast
address 192.168.0.255 doesn't work. Nor can we telnet, etc.

We would like to know what steps we ought to take to troubleshoot. We've read
the Networking Howto (ex Net-3-Howto) and the Linux Network Administrator's
Guide, but are still at a loss.

Thanks!
David Hugh-Jones

Your problem is shown by the collisions ... you have not sent
a single packet successfully ... I know zilch about the hardware
side of it esp hubs (I have thin ethernet) , but I would guess
that you have used a direct cable instead of a crossover cable
(or is that vv?) .

Hope you fix it soon,

Youre either using the wrong settings, or no hub and no crossover
cable. Or the cable is broken.
Check

- that youre using a crossover cable if no hub is installed
- that the cable is OK
- that both cards use half-duplex (without hub)
