Re: multiple local domains under apache

Hi, thanks a lot for all your help. I still haven't managed to make the virtual hosts to work, despite trying all the suggested permutations. Being a Linux newbie, i'm not quite sure how everything works, so I included all of the configuration files i know of below; if there's anything else please let me know, as i musn't know about it......... /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf file: Main Section: Listen 8081 Listen 8082 Listen 8083 Listen 8084 Listen 8085 Listen 8086 BindAddress * ServerName badboy.carrierworld.com Virtual Hosts Section: NameVirtualHost 222.222.222.222:8081 <VirtualHost 222.222.222.222:8081> ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com DocumentRoot /home/carrierworld/old_site/htdocs <Directory "/home/carrierworld/old_site/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +Includes AllowOverride None </Directory> ServerName badboy.carrierworld.com ErrorLog logs/carrierworld_old-error_log CustomLog logs/carrierworld_old-access_log common </VirtualHost> #<VirtualHost _default_:*> #</VirtualHost> **************************************** tested permutations (a.o.) commented/ uncommented NameVirtualHosts line tried changing the port number from 8081 to 81; eg 222.222.222.222:80 instead of 222.222.222.222:8081 changed ServerName to 222.222.222 and to badboy (:p Kurt) *************************************** /etc/hosts file 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 0.0.0.0 nick 222.222.222.222 badboy.carrierworld.com badboy /etc/hosts.allow # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # ALL: LOCAL /etc/hosts.deny # # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that # the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular # you should know that NFS uses portmap! ALL: ALL As I'm not rying to serve anyone other than myself and my own machine, does it matter if there's no localhost.localdomain specification anywhere ? Thanks a lot for your help, Nick
