Re: [users@httpd] mass virtual hosting

Axel, thanks for your answer..

Yes I did look in my virtual host error_log file. And as I request the 

URL :

http://www2n.unil.ch:8080/

I get the message :

[Mon Aug 29 11:37:11 2005] [error] [client 130.223.8.33] File does not 

exist: /data/8080/favicon.ico

Which let me think that the correct documentroot is chosen by the server 

ie /data/8080.

Moreover as I request http://www2n.unil.ch:8080/dir8080
which is a subdirectory of /data/8080 including an index.html file
I get the message:

[Mon Aug 29 11:27:40 2005] [error] [client 130.223.8.33] Directory index 

forbidden by rule: /data/8080/dir8080/

As I add index.html to both URL, then the correct document is served.. 

ie from the correct documentroot.

I already use <ip-address>:* in my virtual host definition.

Yes I already have a
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
 in my main httpd.conf

I also add again that directive in my virtualhost definition in several 

way such as:

    <Directory /data/8080>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    IndexOptions FancyIndexing
    </Directory>

The problem may be due to the simultaneous use of the 

VirtualDocumentRoot directive and the DirectoryIndex one..

Cordialement,

Well, if you use separate log files for the main server and the virtual host, you will be able to see which of the servers actually serve the request. I suspect that at least requests for :8080 are served by the main server instead of being served by the virtual host, and that this is the reason why your VirtualDocumentRoot does not kick in for such requests.

I did some tests myself and I did not manage to make it work unless using <ip-address>:*.

That said, since you also have a DirectoryIndex in the main server, I do not really see why the index page is not served from the main server document root... Are you sure http://www2n.unil.ch:8080/index.html is not served from your browser cache? Did you check your logs?

I already tried that.. No way.. same problem.

That is because you do not have any NameVirtualHost definition for  130.223.27.40:8080. However 130.223.27.40 does match 130.223.27.40:80.

What you need to do is to replace
NameVirtualHost 130.223.27.40

with

NameVirtualHost 130.223.27.40:*

and replace

<VirtualHost 130.223.27.40>

with

<VirtualHost 130.223.27.40:*>

Bonjour,

I am trying to install mass virtual hosting with Apache 2.0.53.
I have the the following instructions in my conf file:
#
LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so

UseCanonicalName Off
NameVirtualHost 130.223.27.40
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

<VirtualHost 130.223.27.40>

     ServerAdmin webadmin@xxxxxxx

    ServerName www2n.unil.ch

     VirtualDocumentRoot /data/%p
     DirectoryIndex index.html

     CustomLog /var/log/httpd/main/access_log combined
     ErrorLog  /var/log/httpd/main/error_log

     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /data/cgi-bin
     Options +Indexes
     IndexOptions FancyIndexing

</VirtualHost>

The documents are correctly served by /data/80 if the URL is http://www2n.unil.ch.

BUT the documents are not served for http://www2n.unil.ch:8080 unless I specified explicitely the filename such as http://www2n.unil.ch:8080/index.html.

Any idea of which directive I have to add to get the default 

index.html file for both cases http://www2n.unil.ch:8080 AND 

http://www2n.unil.ch

Thanks for your help
