I want to host sites. http://www.myserver.com http://site1.myserver.com I have a public IP rest is on LAN.The main site is on public IP and want any request on site1.myserver.com to be redirected to internal LAN web server which will process the requests. I am using a Debian Lenny and apache2. In an earlier post on the forum I was able to configure Apache Reverse Proxy by changing apache2.conf the sites hosted at that time were http://www.myserver.com http://www.myserver.com/site1 Now I have formatted my server and it is a fresh installation of Debian Lenny and apache2 on it so previous settings are not there. This time I created two virtual hosts.There are two files in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf site1.myserver.com and myserver.com then a2ensite myserver.com a2ensite site1.myserver.com The configuration of these are as follows /etc/apache2/sites-available/myserver.com contains Code: NameVirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80 NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80 <VirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80 10.10.10.10:80> #10.10.10.10 is my public IP #The above idea was from apache documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName myserver.com DocumentRoot /var/www/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined 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> </VirtualHost> and the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.myserver.com has Code: NameVirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80 NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80 <VirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80 10.10.10.10:80> #10.10.10.10 is my public IP #The above idea was from apache documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName site1.myserver.com DocumentRoot /var/www/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> ProxyRequests off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.6/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.16/ <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.

In my /etc/hosts I have Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.14 myserver.com myserver 192.168.1.6 site1.myserver.com site1 I wasted 24 hours on this went through http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/dns-caveats.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ but still I am not able to catch the problem. There is no URL rewriting till now.
1. What do you mean with "the rest is on LAN", define "the rest" (another webserver f.e.?) 2. If someone from the outside requests site1.myserver.com, it should go to your public IP and then redirected to some internal ip??
Yes the rest means other websites.In the question I have taken it as site1.myserver.com Yes.I was able to resolve the problem both Document Roots were pointing to same locations I deleted Document Root and then it is working now.
