    Newb: Please help me with Virtual Hosting SOLVED

    Hi,

    I'm hoping some kind soul will get me past this, I think it's something fairly simple... I have tried to follow the various threads here but I'm still messing something up...

    I'm wanting to host two sites on my Ubuntu Gutsy box, using Apache2, on *one IP address*.
    The sites are www.p4pixel.com and www.trackrooms.co.uk. At the moment both addresses are showing the p4pixel site...

    First, I get this from the terminal:
    Code:
    smartin@p4pixel:~$ sudo a2ensite
[sudo] password for smartin:
Which site would you like to enable?
Your choices are: default default~ trackrooms
Site name? default
Site default installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to enable.
smartin@p4pixel:~$ sudo a2ensite
Which site would you like to enable?
Your choices are: default default~ trackrooms
Site name? trackrooms
This site is already enabled!
smartin@p4pixel:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
 * Reloading web server config apache2                                          7274

    Please add
    Code:
    ServerName www.trackrooms.co.uk
ServerAlias trackrooms.co.uk
    to the www.trackrooms.co.uk vhost and restart Apache.

    Falko,

    Thanks for your help as always...

    I'm sorry to be dim but do you mean me to add those lines to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trackrooms?

    I did this and the file now looks like this at the end
    Code:
     Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>
ServerName www.trackrooms.co.uk
ServerAlias trackrooms.co.uk
</VirtualHost>
    but it hasn't done the trick I'm afraid. I restarted Apache.

    /etc/apache2/sites-available/trackrooms and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trackrooms is the same file (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trackrooms is just a symlink to /etc/apache2/sites-available/trackrooms).

    What's the output of
    Code:
    apache2 -t
    ?

    Please try
    Code:
    NameVirtualHost 83.67.10.173:80
<VirtualHost 83.67.10.173:80>
    at the beginning of your trackrooms vhost configuration.

    I have also tried it like this at the top:
    Code:
    NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
NameVirtualHost 83.67.10.173:80
<VirtualHost 83.67.10.173:80>
	ServerAdmin [email protected]
    But I still get the wrong site at www.trackrooms.co.uk

    This is abviously more screwed than I thought... :)

    Any further ideas...? Please...?

    ok
    in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
    at the bottom add
    NameVirtualHost *



    than in EACH VHOST conf file
    add this

    <VirtualHost *>
    ServerName test.lan
    ...
    </VirtualHost>


    than try to load it up

    if you got two or more VHost
    without saying
    servername for EACH site
    it will not work
    it just errors up BIG time

    hope its helps a tab

    zcworld,

    Really appreciate you chipping in mate...

    We must be nearly there now!! :)

    I get no errors when restarting apache now:
    Code:

smartin@p4pixel:~$
    but I'm *still* seeing the wrong site at trackrooms.co.uk!

    Just to recap:

    Code:
    Your choices are: default default~ trackrooms trackrooms~
Site name? trackrooms
This site is already enabled!
smartin@p4pixel:~$ a2ensite
Which site would you like to enable?
Your choices are: default default~ trackrooms trackrooms~
Site name? trackrooms~
This site is already enabled!
smartin@p4pixel:~$
    apache2.conf at the end has:

    I tweaked this because the site is in the root www folder...

    What did I mess up?

    really im f**Ed i can tell what is it
    personal
    if its just an website box
    and nothing much on it
    i would of done an reinstall
    or removed apache and all of its conf files
    and reinstalled it
    and went from clean

    so there is no change of any iffy files being loaded


    if u get time
    i will try to install ubuntu 7 in my test mail server box
    and see if its works this time for me
    and setup the conf files and post them for you

    Do you still have a NameVirtualHost directive somewhere?

    Solved!

    Guys,

    Thanks for all your help with this one. The Ubuntu forums found the solution
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=727000

    You probably asked me to add the ServerAlias and I was too dim to do it...

    (Edit) Sure enough... Falko's first post. Sorry guys, don't know what I did wrong there.

    Anyway. Sorted. Thanks!

    Simon
