name based virtual hosts

[chumley]

I tried to set up name based virtual hosts with different document roots as described in the apache docs. (see below). Only the first document tree is accessible from both server names. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done or corrected to get this to work?

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
DocumentRoot /path/maindocs
ServerName

http://www.hostname.com

</Virtual Host>

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
DocumentRoot /path/site2docs
SeveName site2.hostname.com
</VirtualHost>

This seems to be a very common problem. Do you have a firewall? Are you using internal ip addressing?
Just set that ip to the internal ip address of the machine, and make sure to set up NameVirtualHost as the same IP.
