virtual hosts or dns config problem

Hello, ive been struggling to figure out a problem which is either an apache config or dns config issue but I am stumped and frustrated as hell :)

Heres my setup I have 2 domains:

gabadoo.com
bargods.com

the name server for those domains is ns.gabadoo.com.

the ip addy of the dns server(ns.gabadoo.com) is 209.42.36.231
the ip addy of the web server is 209.42.36.230

Likewise both machines have 2 nics one for local lan ips as well.

I can ping all the hostnames for each domain fine. So and resolve fine. However i have not setup a reverse lookup for the ip addy? is that necessary for apache virtual hosts to work?And if so how do i set it up for my ip?

here is my zone file for gabadoo.com:
$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA ns.gabadoo.com. hostmaster.gabadoo.com. (
2002021801 ; serial, todays date + today's serial num

localhost IN A 127.0.0.1



www2 IN A 209.42.36.230
www IN A 209.42.36.230


Here is the reverse zone for 209.42.36.230 but Its not setup right, cause it doesnt work, How do i set a reverse lookup for my ip addy, since the network addy is also my hostmachine?

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# If your ServerType directive (set earlier in the 'Global Environment'
# section) is set to &quot;inetd&quot;, the next few directives don't have any
# effect since their settings are defined by the inetd configuration.
# Skip ahead to the ServerAdmin directive.
#

#
# Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. For
# ports < 1023, you will need httpd to be run as root initially.
#
#Port 80

##
##  SSL Support
##
##  When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
##  standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
##
<IfDefine HAVE_SSL>

#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use &quot;User nouser&quot; and &quot;Group nogroup&quot;.
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
#    suggested workaround is to create a user use that user.
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
#  don't use Group nobody on these systems!

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.

ServerAdmin root@localhost

#
# ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for
# your server if it's different than the one the program would get (i.e., use
# &quot; instead of the host's real name).
#
# Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you
# define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand
# this, ask your network administrator.
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address (e.g., # anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.
#
# 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your

# local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name.

#
# UseCanonicalName:  (new for 1.3)  With this setting turned on, whenever

#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at <URL:# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.

#     This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.

#     to provide compatibility to existing CGI scripts.
#   o StrictRequire:
#     This denies access when &quot;SSLRequireSSL&quot; or &quot;SSLRequire&quot; applied even
#     under a &quot;Satisfy any&quot; situation, i.e. when it applies access is denied
#     and no other module can change it.

#   SSL Protocol Adjustments:
#   The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
#   approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
#   the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
#   approach you can use one of the following variables:
#   o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
#     This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
#     SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received.  This violates
#     the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
#     this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
#     mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
#   o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
#     This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
#     SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
#     alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
#     practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
#     this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
#     works correctly.
#   Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
#   keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
#   keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable &quot;nokeepalive&quot; for this.
#   Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
#   their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables &quot;downgrade-1.0&quot; and

Im sorry if i posted too much info but mayve you can see something that I cant. Anyhow thanks for anyone who tries to help. I run redhat 7.2 on all machines and using Bind 9.

Hehe, i forgot to post my question after all the info. My problem is that the all apache serves up the same test page for all domains that i type. However if i try to type say which is in the virtual host directive it still gives me the default test page. If i type httpd -S i see the info for the virtual host, but in the browser i get nada. Any help would be much appreciated

thanks
 
Hi,

All you should need to get it working are :

NameVirtualHost 209.42.36.230

<VirtualHost 209.42.36.230>
UseCanonicalName off <--add this
DocumentRoot / ServerName </VirtualHost>

The dns seems fine from here - i.e. it resolves to that IP address and I get the default page.

Hope this helps
 
Hello, unfortunately those additions did not help. It doesnt give me an unknown host error so im assuming the hostnames are valid in dns.

However it replies with:

Not Found

The requested URL /faq.html was not found on this server.


Apache/1.3.20 Server at webE.gabadoo.com Port 80

I dont get it though. Here is the relative stuff i have in the httpd.conf:

NameVirtualHost 209.42.36.230
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.201
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost 209.42.36.230 192.168.0.201>
UseCanonicalName off
DocumentRoot &quot;/var/ ServerName </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:*>
</VirtualHost>


If i reload apache with httpd -S it outputs the following:

virtualhost configuration:

209.42.36.230:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server port 80 namevhost (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1199)

192.168.0.201;80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server -----------------skip some stuff---------------

wildcard NameVirtualHosts and -default_ servers:
_default_:* webE.gabadoo.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1205)




So i just dont get it. does apache need a reverse lookup of the ip addy in dns for vhosts to work? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks

Hi,





It looks like it should be working.





The way name based virtual hosting operates is that, once you have assigned an interface as relating to name based vhosts with the NameVirtualHost directive, then apache will examine the host: field in the http header and compare it to the ServerName in each related Virtual Host container (also to ServerAlias). If it finds a match, it uses that container. If not, (url not recognised , or host: field not present), then it arbitrarily chooses to serve content from the first listed virtual host in httpd.conf .





So, one possibility is that you are not using a http 1.1 compliant browser or one that sends host: anyway (e.g. netscape 4.7x). Name based hosts will not work with old browsers or if the url has been rewritten to just an ip address by a service like .
But that still doesn't make sense because, from your httpd -S output, the is the default anyway. Really anything arriving on that IP address should refer to the virtual host container.


Actually, I don't know if your host is down right now but if I try to telnet to it on port 80 (should always work if http is going to work) I get :

$ telnet 209.42.36.230 80

Trying 209.42.36.230...
telnet: connect to address 209.42.36.230: Connection refused

So maybe there is some packet filtering going on as well.. Still it should definitely work on your lan interface.

I have same problem.
Almost all going to _default_ container.
I've tried to play with different options, and
find what once solution is removing _default_
section.
