name based VirtualHost ?

[redzone]

Hello,

I am going to try setting up a name based VirtualHost in my httpd.conf file. What would a typical directive look like?

thanks

There are two parts to this. The first one is that you must issue a directive which gives Apache an IP address to serve the name based domains from. Like this:

PHP Code:

# If you want to use name-based virtual hosts you need to define at
           
   # least one IP address (and port number) for them.
           
   #
           
   NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80 


The second part is then to add the VirtualHost directives for each domain. Like this:

PHP Code:

# VirtualHost example (name based):
             
   # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
                
   #
              
   <VirtualHost name.of.host.some_domain.com/>
              
   ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com
              
   DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com
              
   ServerName host.some_domain.com/
             
   ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log
            
   CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
         
   </VirtualHost> 


This is just a basic outline there are many differnet ways to write your virtual host within your httpd file.
