Server Alias under Linux / Apache

[Mlima]

Hi, friends:

I want to have, for instance,

http://www.abc.com.br

as a real Domain, and

http://www.xyz.com.br

as just an alias, so that when browsing to any of them it can bring the same homepage, that is, abc.com.br. In this case, xyz.com.br wouldn´t have a home or web directory, nor email, nor ftp.

I configured the file systems as below (I changed the true domain names, this is just an example), but it is not working. abc is reachable, but xyz is not. Maybe something is wrong or I forgot something. Please, review the files and tell me this. Thanks a lot.

/var/named/abc.com.br file:
---------------------------

/var/named/xyz.com.br file:

$TTL 48200
@ IN SOA ns.multisitesdominios.com.br. webmaster.multisitesdominios.com.br. (

;

/etc/named.conf entries:
------------------------

zone "abc.com.br"{
type master;
file "abc.com.br";
};

zone "xyz.com.br"{
type master;
file "xyz.com.br";
};

Obs: The secondary /etc/named.conf file is also accordingly configured.

/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf file:
---------------------------------------

<virtualhost 200.201.129.12>
ServerAdmin webmaster@multisitesdominios.com.br
ServerName

http://www.abc.com.br

ServerAlias abc.com.br
ServerAlias

http://www.xyz.com.br

DocumentRoot /home/abc/www
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/abc/

http://www/cgi-abc/

ErrorLog logs/abc-error-log
TransferLog logs/abc-access-log
</virtualhost>

As xyz is just a serveralias for abc, we didn´t create a xyz <virtualhost> block for it.

Thanks.

add
www IN A 200.201.129.12
to the end of the /var/named/xyz.com.br file:

you might also have a problem with whomever has authority for .com.br if they don't know where xyz is.
at the .com.br level they could just have a CNAME entry to point xyz.com.br to abc.com.br

good luck!

Yes, I´m gonna try this, that is, putting in /var/named/xyz.com.br an entry like:

www IN CNAME

http://www.abc.com.br

yes... a CNAME record in the xyz.com.br database saying:

http://www.xyz.com.br

IN CNAME

http://www.abc.com.br

would most certainly map xyz.com.br back to abc.com.br's web site... as long your name server can find the abc.com.br records.... which i can see is not a problem...

but remember to add the correct line in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf in the Apache server so that it can respond to

http://www.xyz.com.br...

since this is contained in the HTTP address header... and not

http://www.abc.com.br...
