That request's not making use of virtual hosts, you're asking for a test123 sub-directory off the default site. Virtual hosts are when you have different hostnamed websites on the same IP address. As far as browsing them's concerned, they're completely independent websites. example /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost example.com example.net example browsing requests: http://localhost/ http://example.com/ http://example.net/ example Apache configuration sections: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost ServerAlias localhost.localdomain # This alias makes this section respond to both hostnames UseCanonicalName On DocumentRoot /var/www/virtuals/localhost </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.com UseCanonicalName On DocumentRoot /var/www/virtuals/example.com </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.net UseCanonicalName On DocumentRoot /var/www/virtuals/example.net </VirtualHost> NB: I don't make virtual hosts as sub-directories inside the default /var/www/html directory, I give them a completely separate path (as above). That way you cannot access a different website through one of the others. Doing so can allow some devious sidestepping of any access limitations that you'd applied to a virtual host. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
