Virtual Host s not working for second URL

  • 772

SO I am hosting a couple sites on the same server. The first url point to the right folder but the second and the third for that matter, I get the intial Apache test pages. Can anyone tell why that is happening. I do have NameVirtualHost *:80 in my config file. I also have followed the Apache documentation.

#</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/Dev
ServerName www.scsdeveloper.com

# Other directives here

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/Pro/zenchi
ServerName www.zenchi.com

# Other directives here

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/Pro/zenchi
ServerName www.zenchipillow.com

# Other directives here

</VirtualHost>

    When I try those sites I get the Wordpress setup page. Could it be as simple as your web browser having previous responses cached?

    When I want to verify for certain what a web server does, I use telnet - like this:

    ryo-ohki:~ jenny$ telnet www.zenchi.com 80
Trying 75.101.150.236...
Connected to zenchi.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.zenchi.com       

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:00:04 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.23 (Amazon)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.20
Location: http://www.zenchi.com/wp-admin/install.php
Content-Length: 0
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

    As you see, what I get is a redirect to the Wordpress install page, not the default Apache "server is working" page.

  2. Have a look here: http://alexking.org/blog/2007/11/01/apache-2-only-serves-first-virtual-host

    Simply add the following at the top of your file: NameVirtualHost *:80

    It worked for me !
