Virtualhost pulling from the same site?

  • 772

I have my httpd.conf on fedora 8 that I am setting the virtual host file. Here is what I have: 

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

then below I am trying to setup a vhost to have multiple sites on the server:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName kadence.tv
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName nacc.biz
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/nacc/
</VirtualHost>

also in the /var/www/html/ directory I have the index.php file for the kadence site...when I do to either site I get the index for the kadence site...any ideas what I am doing wrong

EDIT the full contents of my httpd configuration file are here.

apache-2.2 virtualhost fedora httpd.conf

    If the name you're using doesn't match one of the virtualhost sections, it will default to using the first one. My guess would be that you're accessing www.nacc.biz. The www is significant. The name has to match exactly. Since apache doesn't have a virtualhost section for www.nacc.biz, it is using the first one (kadence.tv) as the default.

    Take a look at the ServerAlias directive, and use it to specify all of the server names you expect to use.

  2. 1 Check active NameVirtualHost. Open /etc/apache2/ports.conf file:

    NameVirtualHost *:80

    2 Check DNS

    # ping app.local
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

# ping john.app.local
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

    3 Check Apache config(/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default):

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName app.local
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName john.app.local
        DocumentRoot /var/www/john
</VirtualHost>

$ sudo apache2ctl configtest
Syntax OK

$ sudo  apache2 -S
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server app.local (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
         port 80 namevhost app.local (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
         port 80 namevhost john.app.local (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:12)

    4 Test Apache:

    $ curl http://john.app.local
john
$ curl http://app.local
<html><body><h1>It works!</h1>
<p>This is the default web page for this server.</p>
<p>The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.</p>
</body></html>
