Well, if that's your definition of "not very helpful," then I hope to
have a problem on which you can be "helpful" 8-). Thanks for the
pointer. I suspected the problem had something to do with ipv6 support
and now that I see that it's a freebsd ipv6 patch I think that I can
point my query over there and see what's up.
Just out of curiosity is there a canonical document that explains how
the NameVirtualHost/VirtualHost mechanism works? The reason that I ask
is because I'm having trouble modeling what apache is doing with this
section of the configuration. I thought that I got it when I went to a:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName foo.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName bar.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName baz.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
And that seems to work on all of my webservers (probably I flubbed it
when I added the ipv6 flavor to the port).
In my head apache has a table of virtual host configurations indexed by
ServerName or ServerAlias. It parses the Name needed from the request
out of the URI, looks for a match in the table and then loads the
apropriate parameters out of the corresponding vhost configuration.
Is this correct?
