Hello all! I am new to forum and this if my first post. I know this is a great site so I decided to join in on the forums. Here is my problem. I am running a Debian Linux server (used perfect debian install howto) and apache web server. I have 2 web sites that I am serving. 1: www.boothkicker.com and 2. www.bristleridgeacademy.com boothkicker.com is my primary page and the first one I set up. When I go to the site with a web browser "www.boothkicker.com" appears in url box. But when i go to "www.bristleridgeacademy.com" the ip address and the folder for web page is shown in url box. How can I fix this so that when the page is visited, "www.bristleridgeacademy.com" is shown? In /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default I have the following: <VirtualHost *> ServerName boothkicker.com ServerAdmin [email protected] #Local address no port DocumentRoot /home/cody/public_html #directory to launch from ServerName www.boothkicker.com #www.servername.com </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName bristleridgeacademy.com DocumentRoot /home/dak/public_html ServerName www.bristleridgeacademy.com </VirtualHost> Thank you for any help!!!
Please change it to Code: NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4 <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerName boothkicker.com ServerAdmin [email][email protected][/email] #Local address no port DocumentRoot /home/cody/public_html #directory to launch from ServerName [url]www.boothkicker.com[/url] #[url]www.servername.com[/url] </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerName bristleridgeacademy.com DocumentRoot /home/dak/public_html ServerName [url]www.bristleridgeacademy.com[/url] </VirtualHost> where 1.2.3.4 is your system's IP address (you must see it in the output of Code: ifconfig ). Restart Apache afterwards.
Thank you for your reply, falko. When I did as you instructed me, I received this after restarting apache: server1:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Forcing reload of web server: Apache2[Fri Nov 24 09:16:46 2006] [warn] VirtualHost 192.168.0.101:0 overlaps with VirtualHost 192.168.0.101:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive [Fri Nov 24 09:16:46 2006] [warn] VirtualHost 192.168.0.101:0 overlaps with VirtualHost 192.168.0.101:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive . Any suggestions? (Sorry, I'm a newb)
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default contains this text: NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.101 <VirtualHost 192.168.0.101> ServerName boothkicker.com ServerAdmin [email protected] #Local address no port DocumentRoot /home/cody/public_html #directory to launch from ServerName www.boothkicker.com #www.servername.com </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 192.168.0.101> ServerName bristleridgeacademy.com DocumentRoot /home/dak/public_html ServerName www.bristleridgeacademy.com </VirtualHost> #<VirtualHost *> # ServerName securitycontrol.biz # ServerAdmin [email protected] #Local address no port # DocumentRoot /home/sce/public_html #directory to launch from # ServerName www.securitycontrol.biz #www.servername.com #</VirtualHost> The last virtual host is another site that I'm trying to server, but I have some nameserver stuff I have to figure out for it. That is why it is commented out. And the output of ifconfig is: server1:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:EC:56:92:95 inet addr:192.168.0.101 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:515767 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:101214 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:153664537 (146.5 MiB) TX bytes:48598126 (46.3 MiB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1470 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1470 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:237220 (231.6 KiB) TX bytes:237220 (231.6 KiB) Thank you
I'm sorry, you're on Apache2, so it must be Code: NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4[B][COLOR="Red"]:80[/COLOR][/B] <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4[B][COLOR="Red"]:80[/COLOR][/B]> ServerName boothkicker.com ServerAdmin [email protected] #Local address no port DocumentRoot /home/cody/public_html #directory to launch from ServerName www.boothkicker.com #www.servername.com </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4[B][COLOR="Red"]:80[/COLOR][/B]> ServerName bristleridgeacademy.com DocumentRoot /home/dak/public_html ServerName www.bristleridgeacademy.com </VirtualHost>
I added ":80" to the three ip addresses but it still changes to the ip address when you go to the address: www.bristleridgeacademy.com I purchases the domains through godaddy.com. I set the domain forwarding to 70.115.60.162/~dak. Is that what it should be set at for the above address? That is where the pages are stored.
Do not forward the domain because then name-based vhosts don't work. You must point the DNS records of the domain directly to your server.
Okay, I got it to somewhat work now. When you go to www.bristleridgeacademy.com the correct url is shown, but if you go to bristleridgeacademy.com (without www) it is directed to my boothkicker page but bristleridgeacademy.com is shown for url. How do I configure it so that bristleridgeacademy.com is directed to correct page?
Add a ServerAlias line to the vhost, e.g. like this: Code: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> DocumentRoot /home/dak/public_html ServerName www.bristleridgeacademy.com [B][COLOR="Red"]ServerAlias bristleridgeacademy.com[/COLOR][/B] </VirtualHost>
Awesome! They are all working except for www.securitycontrol.biz When you visit the url, the home page looks like it should and the correct url is displayed, but when you click on a link the url changes to the IP address. What would cause this? Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for everything Falko!
