Then, can at least someone help me to write such patch?
I was curious as well as to *why* this is the way it is, so I looked in the source... This is intended for some reason or another. In the source, the <VirtualHost> name is searched first (in order of appearance in conf file) and returns a match before ServerName/Alias is even tried. There is even a comment in the source stating that "If this is a NameVirtualHost then we may not be doing the Right Thing". So you could argue a bug, but this goes all the way through to 2.2.2 so it will never be changed, heh. So, as previously stated, just always configure your VH with ServerName same as <VirtualHost> tag as the *first* one in the file. This will work fine. As for patching (not recommended), you could change ap_matches_request_vhost in http_vhost.c to run the matches_aliases before the VirtualHost name matches. But, I think changing the order of your conf would be easier. -B --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
