Configure the VHOSTS

[seek4need]

Hi,

I am looking to configure the VHOSTS like below example:

Eg:

example.com
ex1.example.com
ex2.example.com


I try to configure the above example in httpd-vhosts.conf file. After configure when I given example.com or ex1.example.com the page is redirecting to example.com only. It is not pointing to ex1.example.com.

How I can configure to point to different pages for different aliases. If I given example.com it should go to that directory path. If I given ex1.example.com it should go to ex1 directory path.

Please check the below configuratoin parameters and please help me where I am doing wrong. hosts file is already taken care.



NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost example.com:80 >

#=================================================
#== VIRTUAL CONTAINER 1 <

First, take out the NameVirtualHost in each VirtualHost. This is a spec for the address to listen, not a name. Apache uses the ServerName or ServerAlias to match the names in the URL with the virutal host. It appears if you use

http://www.ex1.example.com,

it should work, but not ex1.example.com. You must add a ServerAlias to add ex1.example.com!

I did the changes as you said. But still it is redirecting to example.com domain. If I give ex1.example.com or example.com it is redirecting to example.com only.

Please see the below steps for changes I did....

step 1: I un commented the 2 places in httpd.conf file

# Fancy directory listings
Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Step2: I did the modification in the httpd-vhosts.conf file like below:

#NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName

http://www.example.com

#ServerAlias

http://www.example.com

DocumentRoot "c:/example.com/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName

http://www.ex1.example.com

ServerAlias ex1.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/example.com/htdocs/us/ex1"
</VirtualHost>


still it is redirecting to example.com only.

Hi,

Can any one have the solution for the above issue. I am still stuck at this point.

I am not able to point to the sub domain. it is always redirecting to main domain.

Thanks

I said the NameVirtualhost in EACH VirtualHost. Not the first one. You need that one.
