Virtual Host Question

[hdsammy]

I am running Solaris 5.9 with Apache 1.3.27

I have the default website which is the standard Apache test page and I have added a virtual host to the httpd.conf file. If I use

http://www.mywebsite.com

in my browser I get the home page that I am supposed to get but if I use the ip address of the server instead, I get the same home page instead of the default website. If I comment out the virtual host directive in the config file, I get the default page. Is this the way it is suppose to work? I thought that if there was a host header than it would load the virtual host home page and if there wasn't a host header, it would load the default page. Is this question as clear as mud?

Place the VirtualHost directive for 'default' before the '

http://www.mywebsite.com'

directive.

my config file looks like this:

NameVirtualHost *:3000
<VirtualHost 123.111.222.123:3000>
ServerName 123.111.222.123:3000
DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:3000>
ServerName

http://www.mywebsite.com:3000

DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

actually my config file looks like this. I left out the mywebsite in my last post on the Document Root:

NameVirtualHost *:3000
<VirtualHost 123.111.222.123:3000>
ServerName 123.111.222.123:3000
DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:3000>
ServerName

http://www.mywebsite.com:3000

DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs/mywebsite
</VirtualHost>

Well guys, it doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have tried several differnt configurations with the VirtualHost directives with no success. Could there be something else in my httpd.conf file that could be causing the problem?

Ok here's what I had to do to correct the problem:

NameVirtualHost *:3000

<VirtualHost *:3000>
ServerName 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:3000>
ServerName

http://www.mywebsite.com

DocumentRoot /var/apache/htdocs/mywebsite
</VirtualHost>
