Apache virtual hosts, aliasing, and directories

  • 772

If you have an Apache running at somewhere.net, and you have a number of virtual hosts as well (a.somewhere.net, b.somewhere.net), you can access directories on the main branch while you are on the virtual hosts.

For instance, let's say I install phpmyadmin. I can access it, after including the apache.conf file, by going to somewhere.net/phpmyadmin. However, I can also access it by going to a.somewhere.net/phpmyadmin or b.somewhere.net/phpmyadmin. I assume this has to do with the line Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin (in phpmyadmin's apache.conf), and that it applies to all virtual hosts on Apache.

Is there a way to make it just apply to the default site, and none of the subdomains? Can I make it so a.something.net/phpmyadmin won't find phpmyadmin?

    Move that Alias directive (and possibly other parts of the generated config?) or the Include that's bringing in the phpmyadmin config into the specific <VirtualHost> blocks that you want it to apply to - that will cause them to apply only to those specific virtual hosts instead of the entire server.

  2. remove the alias from the conf.

    ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /$vHostDocRoot/phpmyadmin

    that is the easiest way.... other wise you can try moving the Alias directive into the virtual host configuration.
