Virtual Hosts I'm stumped

[scatcat]

Hi everyone,

I am running Apache on NT. I am trying to set up virtual hosting on my workstation. It's IP address is 10.1.2.95
In the hosts table I have two names belonging to that address Server1 and Server2. I am trying to set up Virtual hosts:

ServerName Server1
NameVirtualHost 10.1.2.95

<VirtualHost 10.1.2.95>
ServerName Server1
DocumentRoot &quot;E:/blar/HTTPServer/htdocs&quot;
Alias / E:\blar\Server1\html\enter.html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.1.2.95>
ServerName Server2
DocumentRoot &quot;E:/Site2&quot;
Alias / E:\Site2\index.html
</VirtualHost>

DirectoryIndex index.html enter.html

The problem is if I put

http://Server1

or

http://Sever2

into a broswer it will only show Server2's content for both sites. I have tried changing the directories where enter and index.html live, but nothing seems to make a diffrence. I have read so many FAQs and tips all over the place but I cannot resolve this. It's driving me mad!

Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Thanks for the help everyone.

I have sussed it. Apache in this case is part of an IBM application and that made things a bit more complicated. So I was being a bit naive thinking it would work as expected, i.e. normal Name-Based hosting, and that's what's thrown me.

What I needed to do was this :

NameVirtualHost 10.1.2.95

<VirtualHost 10.1.2.95>
ServerName Server1
all the bits in here
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.1.2.95:443>
ServerName Server1
all the bits in here
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost 10.1.2.95>
ServerName Server2
all the bits in here
</VirtualHost>

And that finally worked. What I was missing was the fact that IBM had loaded a SSL module onto Apache, and it was this that was causing all the problems. Once I commented that out Name-Based hosting worked exactly as the FAQ suggested (thanks for that). So that got me thinking, I finally came up with that config that worked.

Once again thanks for your help everyone.
