Question
I am interested in, if I can have vhosts on apache with domain names like: http://something.com/something or http://{server-ip-address-here}/something ?
I am using Apache 2.2.20 on Ubuntu Server, thats my home server and I am testing some stuff here, I dont have any DNS server here and what I have is only public IP address and a domain name attached to it from open dns service.
So, what did I do:
- I have created new file "demo" in /etc/apache2/sites-available
I put there this (actually it is copied with modifications from default file):
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName {mydomain-here}/demo/ DocumentRoot /vhosts/demo <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /vhosts/demo/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" <Directory "/usr/share/doc/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 </Directory> </VirtualHost>
Created symlink in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ which points to /etc/apache2/sites-available/demo
Created /vhosts/demo/index.html file.
And now what i get is that when I go to {my-domain} I go to vhost which I have created, but problem is that server points me there in ANY case, not only {my-domain}/demo what I want.
In conclusion, I want that I can create different virtual hosts and attach them to different URL's which will have same base-url, for example www.mydomain.com/vhost1, www.mydomain.com/vhost2 etc..
Is it possible? Thanks :)
Solution
To start, the reason why it goes there is ANY case is cause you have you have a *:80 setting for your virtual host, so if nothing matches the request it uses the first virtual host entry
If I understand what you are trying to do it appears like you might just want to alias each 'virtual host'
What you are trying to do isn't quite a virtual host (at least what a virtual host is supposed to do), but you might be able to accomplish it by using alias feature of apache
Alias /vhost1 /whatever/folder/your/vhost1/site/is/at
Alias /vhost2 /whatever/folder/your/vhost2/site/is/at
So now whatever domain you use e.g. http://whatever.com/vhost1 or http://whatever.com/vhost2 The both of em will appear as separate sites
