Very Computer

I created aliases in the rc.conf, and added the following to httpd.conf

<VirtualHost localhost.atmontereybay.com>

DocumentRoot    /usr/local/www/data
ServerName      localhost.atmontereybay.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.atmontereybay.com>

ServerName      www.atmontereybay.com
DocumentRoot    /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 199.182.49.39>
ServerName      mike.atmontereybay.com

DocumentRoot    /usr/local/www/mike/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

If I try to access mike.atmontereybay.com, I get the www.atmontereybay.com
page.  The index.html file in /usr/local/www/mike/htdocs reads "Can you see
this".  I also tried using <VirtualHost mike.atmontereybay.com> instead of
the ip address but the results were the same- it brought up
www.atmonterebay.com.

Can anyone help me get beyond this?

Thanks in advance,

I assume that you have registered the domain and configured BIND8 so that
you are the nameserver for your domain.  You will have to create BIND
entries for all the machines you want to have under your domain, www, mike,
etc.  I'll leave that info to someone more experienced with BIND however.

To use name-based virtual hosts in Apache, you will need the following line
before your first VirtualHost definition:

NameVirtualHost <IP-address>

Where <IP-address> is the IP address of your machine.

I suggest something like the following (assuming that your machine's IP is
199.182.49.39 and you are using name-based vhosts), although I'm not sure of
the specifics of your setup...

NameVirtualHost 199.182.49.39

<VirtualHost 199.182.49.39>

    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
    ServerName www.atmontereybay.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/www_error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/www_access_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 199.182.49.39>

    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/mike/htdocs
    ServerName mike.atmontereybay.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/mike_error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/mike_access_log
</VirtualHost>

You should have to worry about the localhost.  Bear in mind that once you
put in the NameVirtualHost directive, you can ONLY have virtual hosts, the
default host will no longer work.  This config also lets you log your
different subdomains separately...

hallo ...

if apache is too much a pain ... try thhpd (it's in the ports).

It's very handy to configure as a virtual host ... it's small, quick and your
machine barely notices that it's running. It's a good choice if you want a
*simple* no frills web server.
