Re: Occasional crisscrossing of virtual hosts with Apache

[Igor Cicimov <icicimov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Any reason you have two virtual hosts for www.app1.myg.org and app1.myg.org instead having server alias like this:

ServerName    www.app1.myg.org
ServerAlias   app1.myg.org

in the same virtual host?

It works fine 99% of the time.  The problem is that occasionally the user enters one host name (e.g., app1.myg.org) and he is sent to the wrong folder (e.g., /opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs/offering2).

We are using Apache version 2.2.9.  The system is live so we need to fix this quickly.  Any suggestions?
