    Ive got a strange issue where the urls go to the wrong sites.

    Example: the server is: Mysite.com

    I have a client and site for Mysite.com this being the servers main site. So ther server is Mysite.com and the domain for the website in Mysite.com

    I have other sites configured via the server is Mysite.com and the domains are for example
    Site1.myothersite.net
    Site2.myothersite.net
    Site3.myothersite.net
    Site4.myothersite.net

    Now in the browser if I type Jim.mysite.com it goes to site3.myothersite.net

    No matter what I use to create an URL to a site that doesn't exist it defaults to site3.myothersite.net

    Other Than the server name there is no relationship between the sites, site3.myothersite.net and Mysite.com

    I don't understand why it goes to site3.myothersite.net instead of Mysite.com


    How do I fix this as its no good this way

    Check all sites and ensure that you either use * or use the IP address for all sites but dont mix IP addresses and websites. Apache will then forward all traffic for sites that dont exist to the first site that it finds in alphabetical order. So if you want that mysite.com is always found first, then chnage the domain from:

    mysite.com to 0000-mysite.com and add mysite.com as aliasdomain to the 0000-mysite.com website. The domain 0000-mysite.com does not have to exist in dns, it is just used to ensure that the site is found first in alphabetical order.

    Ensure that you select the IP for all sites or * for all sites and dont mix that on a server. If you mix it, then sites become inaccessible.

    all sites have the *

    All the sites have the *. in the auto sub domain and a * in the IPv4-Address

    I have added 0000- to the from of the two main domains

    0000-mysite.net

    0000-myothersite.net

    and created a domain alias for each domain.



    I have left the other sites are are except that have the * in the appropriate locations.

    One thins I didn't mention ins that one of the domains is more like

    sitename.myothersite.net

    Im not sure if that is having an impact

    Only one site, the site that shall catch the traffic where no subdomain exists for shall have a auto subdomain set to *. Allother sites should use either auto subdomain www (if its a site like domain.tld that shall be reached as www.domain.tld as well) or no auto subdomain if the site is already a subdomain like sub.domain.tld.
