Virtual Host in Apache 1.3.19 on RedHat 7.1 with Dynamic IP

[kaioo]

I have a RH Linux 7.1 with Apache 1.3.19 machine, and this is connected to the internet using a DSL link. The DSL has a dynamic IP, and I've got a free DNS provider to assign me a name and 2 CNAMEs.
The linux machine is sitting between a small intranet and the internet, so I'm using it as router and also as a firewall. The /dev/eth0 interface is connected to the modem, and the /dev/eth1 interface is for the intranet.
What I need is to host 2 sites, one with the real name, and the other one using any of the two CNAMEs.
Do I lack of some piece of software or this can be done just editing the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file ?

I've tried almost everything I read on the net, but nothing seems to work completele well.

Can Anybody help ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You should be able to do this with name based virtual hosting using something like this in httpd.conf:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName

http://www.domain1.com

DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/html/domain1

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName

http://www.domain2.com

DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/html/domain2

</VirtualHost>

The '*' is a wildcard that means to listen on any interface which gets round the dhcp issue.

Hope this helps

Thanks, I've tried that one, and I get to see both sites, but when trying to access another page that is not index.* in the server that is using the CNAME, I get the 404 page not found error.

Here is the full VirtualHost section for the domains:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName realname.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/html

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/html&quot;>

Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cg
UseCanonicalName On
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName secondsite.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/html/secondsite

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/html/secondsite&quot;>

Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cg
UseCanonicalName On
</VirtualHost>

Is there anything missing there ?

Hi,

With name-based virtual hosts you should have UseCanonicalName off (With 'on' it uses ServerName instead of whats in the http header).

Thanks again.

What a stoke of luck! I just added a chat server with its own sub-domain and was having a heck of a time getting my browser to find it. I thought I would come here and look at some old threads but looky what I found on the first page. I plumb forgot about turning off CanonicalNames. Thanx Ifincham.
