I have 3 websites running on a cloud server, with the default Apache httpd.conf setting . I have uncommented the NameVirtualHost and configured the 3 websites from VirtualHost, after set up the DocumentRoot and ServerName for each, all worked perfectly but only the site within the default Directory is working for mod-rewrite, which I used for SEO URLs. The other 2 sites are located just one level above the /var/www/html, and are in the subfolder of /var/www/websites/site1, site2. I've tried to use RewriteBase in the .htaccess file to make this work but no success, and I have no idea where in the httpd.conf file I can make any changes to get things right. Please help, thanks.
If I understand you correctly you wish to have 3 separate websites running on 1 Apache server and then be able to have rewrites working on all of them.
You are on the right track using VirtualHosts. You need to stick to using a separate VirtualHost for each website you intend to host.
Given a folder structure as follows
/var/www/
- /websites
-- /site1
-- /site2
-- /site3
You can then setup 3 VirtualHosts for each of your 3 sites:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/websites/site1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/websites/site2
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/websites/site3
</VirtualHost>
Hope this helps.

I currently have example.com pointing to Server one. I wanted to server example.com from a different directory ( /WebData )
I did this by editing httpd.conf
http://pastebin.com/UjHhRNTX
I this works as desired.
I then found out I needed to add website.org to the server. So I mounted another disk and created a dir called /WebDataWebsite
and created /etc/httpd/conf.d/websiteorg.conf with the following VHost:
http://pastebin.com/GTmqtABf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/WebDataWebsite"
ServerName website.org
ServerAlias www.website.org
<Directory "/WebDataWebsite">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
For some reason all traffic to example.com and website.org were both directed to index.htm in /WebDataWebsite
What I am doing wrong? How to I make /WebData (in httpd.conf) the default website but filter by servername website.org with the VHost?
You'll probably need to use Alias's for the second site. Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#alias
It's unlikely that second declaration of the VH is being picked up by apache as it can not deal with two declarations of the same I believe.
I'm pretty new in webserver management. So I rented this server, and setup a LAMP server with MySql and everything is alright in that sense.
The problem is now that I have two different domains (say www.domain1.com, www.domain2.org), and I want each of them to load the website content from a different folder on my server.
How can I do that?
I tried to google some relevant terms, but I couldn't find what that's called.
Thank you for any efforts.
If you use Apache2, you can use the ServerName directive in the VirtualHost configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.com
DocumentRoot /folder1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.com
DocumentRoot /folder2
</VirtualHost>
I'm having issues redirecting my http://domain.co.uk to http://www.domain.co.uk . I'm pretty new to working with apache and linux so this is what i have done so far. Hopefully there is an obvious mistake that can be fixed easily.
In my attempt to get the redirect working I found a few tutorials saying that i should do it via the virtualhost file so i edited the existing virtual host file that i initially set up for the site in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.co.uk
I have added a new block to the top of this file so it now looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.co.uk
Redirect permanent / http://www.domain.co.uk/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases
ServerAdmin admin#domain.co.uk
ServerName www.domain.co.uk
ServerAlias domain.co.uk
# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DocumentRoot /home/simon/public/domain.co.uk/public/
# Log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/simon/public/domain.co.uk/log/error.log
CustomLog /home/simon/public/domain.co.uk/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
After editing this file I restarted Apache and tried out the site but http://domain.co.uk is giving me "failed to open the page - cannot reach the server". http://www.domain.co.uk is still working fine.
Is this the right place for this <virtualhost> block? I have seen some mention of putting virtual host info in the httpd.conf file but I haven't been able to find this file in my installation of apache.
Any help would be great.
try this one and restart Apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.co.uk
ServerAlias *.domain.co.uk
RedirectMatch permanent /(.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/$1
</VirtualHost>
I have a Linode server running Ubuntu 11 and Apache2 and I'm trying to get a subdomain working. This is my mywebsite file in sites-available folder. I've tried putting the top part in its own file testing.mywebsite and reloading apache2 with no luck.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/user2/www
ServerName testing.mywebsite.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#gmail.com
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias *.mywebsite.com
ServerAlias 192.155.90.135
#Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DocumentRoot /home/user/public/mywebsite/www
#Log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/user/public/mywebsite/log/error.log
CustomLog /home/user/public/mywebsite/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I have a website up and running and apache can find all the files in /home/user/public/mywebsite/www but when I go to the testing subdomain, my browser can't find it. I'm pretty unfamiliar with apache2, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Are your DNS records configured to point your computer at the desired hostname to your server's IP address when it resolves? Or, are you overriding with editing /etc/hosts?
I am somewhat unsure what "my browser can't find it" means, so please clarify if the above questions don't get you closer to your problem. It would be worth checking your log files for Apache in your specified paths and /var/log/apache2/.
I have recently just set up a RHEL based server running two domains. However, I am having difficulty hitting both domains from the browser. My config is:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainA.com
ServerAlias domainA.com *.domainA.com
DocumentRoot /home/domainA/public_html
<Directory "/home/domainA/public_html">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainB.com
ServerAlias domainB.com *.domainB.com
DocumentRoot /home/domainB/public_html
<Directory "/home/domainB/public_html">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The problem is when I navigate to domainA.com I hit the correct Virtualhost (which is fine), however when I navigate to domainB.com it displays the Apache Test page.
Edit
I have a Firewall between the webserver and the web. I tested the rules governing Domain A and Domain B.
Domain A reaches target and a status 200 is returned.
Domain B reaches target and a status 403 (permission denied) is returned
What you need to do is take a look at sites-enabled and sites-available.
Here's the first entry when Googling: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412
Looks reasonable and should help you integrate that.
The problem is that you need separate entries for all the sites you want to run on this apache2. Simple entries in your config file don't do it. Only the first works, the rest is more or less ignored. Creating separate entries with sites-enabled and sites-available is the way to go here.
