Need Help in virtual host

[spicyjazz]

Hi,

I'm Dinesh and Im new to Apache.

With apache tutorials I had made some virtual host and I have configured the host file in windows folder. I works great, but when I test in other computer which is connected to lan, I can view only the default website but not the other virtual hosts I made. When I refer the tutorials im getting confused with it. Can u please provide a soluton for it.

My Apache httpd.conf files goes here

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.2>
ServerName "site1"
DocumentRoot "SitePath"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.3>
ServerName "site2"
DocumentRoot "SitePath"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.4>
ServerName "Site3"
DocumentRoot "SitePath"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.5>
ServerName "Site4"
DocumentRoot "SitePath"
</VirtualHost>

My Hosts File is configured like this

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 site1
127.0.0.3 site2
127.0.0.4 site3
127.0.0.5 site4

All the sites are working great but when tested in lan or other computer which is connected through lan it doesn't show anything. can u please provide a solution for it.

If possible can u please provide solution for not only intranet as well as internet if possible.

Awaiting for your response.

Thanks.

Hello,

Neither this can work as a fact of wrong Syntax, nor will this work in Internet, as of using the Loopback Address in the VirtualHosts. Use this Syntax for general use:

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName site1
   DocumentRoot /absolute/path/to/site1
</VirtualHost>

And so on for the other sites. If you want to keep your localhost, you need to define one VirtualHost-Block for the localhost (with the Path you will find in the DocumentRoot-Settings also in yout httpd.conf).

Just for Information. If the Apache Webserver get's a request with an URL he can not find in one VirtualHost-Block, he will use the first Block, so be careful what you write on the first position.

@Mods: Wäre der Beitrag im Englischen Teil nicht besser aufgehoben?
