setup Apache for Subdomains

[usafshah]

HI all,
i have a domain abc.info on a remote server and its files are hosted on let say 217.56.34.12, and a subdomain subdomain.abc.info hosted on let say 80.45.1.26 ("/docs/www/") and another subdomain2.abc.info is also hosted on 80.45.1.26 ("/docs/www/domain2")
I'm running apache, what settings should i do in apache when as i type subdomain.abc.info and it opens the contents in /docs/www and as i type subdomain2.abc.info it opens the contents of /docs/www/subdomain2/

I have tried virtual host as follow

NameVirtualHost *
 
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName subdomain.abc.info
DocumentRoot "/docs/www"
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName subdomain2.abc.info
DocumentRoot "/docs/www/subdomain2"
</VirtualHost>

but the thing is when i type subdomain.abc.info and subdomain.abc.info both open the contents of /docs/www



Best Regards

Apache is running on 80.45.1.26

I believe, and don't hold me to this, that you need to specify the domain name in the <VirtualHost> tag as well:

NameVirtualHost *
 
<VirtualHost subdomain.abc.info:80>
ServerName subdomain.abc.info
DocumentRoot "/docs/www"
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost subdomain2.abc.info:80>
ServerName subdomain2.abc.info
DocumentRoot "/docs/www/subdomain2"
</VirtualHost>
 

[usafshah]

yeah checked with that as well, same thing again.

both subdomains pointing me to same content "/docs/www"

[Motoma]

You don't happen to be using mod_ssl? If so, you will need to change the NameVirtualHost directive to include a port number:

NameVirtualHost *:80
 

[usafshah]

mod_ssl settings are:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    Include conf/ssl.conf
</IfModule>

and checked with NameVirtualHost *:80 as well, nothing happened :S

[usafshah]

this is the log of apache


[Fri Jan 19 23:37:07 2007] [warn] VirtualHost subdomain.abc.info:80 overlaps with VirtualHost subdomain2.abc.info:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[Fri Jan 19 23:37:07 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

[usafshah]

any solution ?

[Motoma]

any solution ?

Sorry, I was away for the weekend.
What platform are you running this on?
What version of Apache are you using?
Would you object to posting your httpd.conf file here, either pasting it in, or putting a link for me to download and look over?

Sorry for the long delay.
I have WAMP running on my desktop at work for testing purposes, and here is the solution that worked for me.

You had a line that said simply

ScriptAliased

I had to remove this line for Apache to even start.

In your virtual host section, you have the following set up:

<VirtualHost subdomain.abc.info:80>
  ServerName subdomain.abc.info
  DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost subdomain2.abc.info:80>
  ServerName subdomain2.abc.info
  DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/webmail"
</VirtualHost>
 

Replace that with this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName subdomain.abc.info
  DocumentRoot /wamp/www
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName subdomain2.abc.info
  DocumentRoot /wamp/www/webmail
</VirtualHost>
 

And everything should run smoothly.
