How to make Apache use only one IP (without using a firewall)?

  • 772

I have a server with several static IPs (127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, etc.). I'd like to make Apache only listen on the 127.0.0.1 IP address for every domain (virtualhosts).

I tried the following:

# No NameVirtualHost used
Listen 127.0.0.1:80

<VirtualHost one.domain.com>
...
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost two.domain.com>
...
</VirtualHost>

This didn't work as wanted as every virtualhost entry (and the IP) were pointing to the first VirtualHost entry.

Now I am using:

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
Listen 80


<VirtualHost one.domain.com>
...
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost two.domain.com>
...
</VirtualHost>

But now Apache listens on every IP from the server.

apache-2.2 ip

    Your first setup was correct in concept, wrong in implementation.

    Listen 127.0.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
  ServerName one.domain.com
  ...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
  ServerName two.domain.com
  ...
</VirtualHost>
