VirtualHost/Server Name - Wildcards??

[MarkerX]

Quick question..

I have 2 domain names, using 2 VirtualHost.

Everything works fine, unless you do not explicitly request the exact ServerName.. e.i.

"

http://www.domain1.com"

directs properly.
"domain1.com" directs properly.
"

http://www.domain2.com"

directs properly.
"domain2.com" DIRECTS to domain1...

I tried to use a wildcard, like
ServerName *domain2.com
But this does not work..

So I have to set up a VirtualHost for each domain with and without the "

http://www."?

And what about domain that you want to direct to the same directory, such as a ".net or .org", do you have to set up all of these as VirtualHost??

Help!

Use the "ServerAlias" directive.

Inside one VirtualHost directive do:

ServerName

http://www.domain1.com

ServerAlias *.domain1.com

Correction.

You may have to say:

ServerName

http://www.domain1.com

ServerAlias domain1.com *.domain1.com

to match just the domain name. Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.

Correction.

You may have to say:

ServerName

http://www.domain1.com

ServerAlias domain1.com *.domain1.com

to match just the domain name. But, if foo.domain1.com resolves to that IP address, Apache should give you the right page. Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.

Hi all,

To make it easier, you can use the following:

ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com

http://www.domain

is also covered by *.domain.com so there is no need to specify that seperatly.

Hope this helps Wullie
