Re: Can I have two virtual hosts with same servername?

[Michael Ni <michaelcni@xxxxxxxxx>]

we actually are doing

http://www.foobar.com/blog instead of http://blog.foobar.com for SEO reasons.

we hope linking to the blog will boost up the the main site.

i have NameVirtualHost *:80

but do i really need server alias?

We decided to go with Apache Server in front with virtual hosts with

So far I have gotten different server names to work

http://www.foobar.com <http://www.foobar.com/>
http://blog.foobar.com <http://blog.foobar.com/>

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.foobar.com <http://www.foobar.com/>

<Proxy *>
     AddDefaultCharset Off
     Order deny,allow
     Allow from all
</Proxy>

   ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
   ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName blog.foobar.com <http://blog.foobar.com/>

   ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/
error.log"
   DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>



HOWEVER,
we want to do the following instead
http://www.foobar.com <http://www.foobar.com/>
http://www.foobar.com/blog

why does the following NOT work?

<VirtualHost *:80>

   ServerName www.foobar.com <http://www.foobar.com/>

<Proxy *>
     AddDefaultCharset Off
     Order deny,allow
     Allow from all
</Proxy>

   ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
   ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName www.foobar.com <http://www.foobar.com/>

    ServerPath /blog

   ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/error.log"
   DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

First of all, you need a NameVirtualHost *:80

Then you should use ServerAlias to add www to the vhost.

As a SEO point of view, you should redirect www to non-www or vice-versa.
