apache viurtual hosts

Hi!


I run a (new) webserver, and have recently tried to add subdomains via
the Virtual Hosts directive in the httpd.conf file.

I want to have a subdomain mail.server.com. To di so I have made the
following modifications in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
ServerAdmin (E-Mail Removed)
DocumentRoot /www/mail
ServerName mail.server.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/mail_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache/mail_error_log common
</VirtualHost>

192.168.1.2 is the fix IP of my server within the network.

IT worked, when trying mail.server.com the page from /ww/mail was
displayed. But www.server.com also pointed to mail.server.com.

Then I tried to add www explicitly:

NameVirtualHost www.server.com
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.33:80>
ServerAdmin (E-Mail Removed)
DocumentRoot /www/
ServerName server.com
ServerAlias www.server.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/mail_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache/mail_error_log common
</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost mail.server.com
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
ServerAdmin (E-Mail Removed)
DocumentRoot /www/mail
ServerName mail.server.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/mail_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache/mail_error_log common
</VirtualHost>


But now mail.server.com displays the page from www.server.com


What am I missing? How can I sucessfully add the mail.server.com
subdomain to resolve to /www/mail?

Thanks in advance, guys!

If you are using name-based virtualhosts don't use an IP address, use *

If there is only one vhost, that is used to serve all the requests, if
you have multiple vhost, the first one defined (or the one defined with
_default_) is used to serve all the requests for unknown Vhosts.

You need ONE "NameVirtualHost" directives, not more. Than any number
of <VirtualHost> blocks. Again, use * not a hostname or an IP.

NOTE: the example configuration in httpd.conf DOES WORK.

The documentation, on httpd.apache.org

Thanks, now I got it! I tried lots of hints form the doc, but I
believed the * was to be replaced by my actual IP or server
name. Somehow misleading in the documentation...

Thanks a lot, you relieved me!
