ServerAdmin admin@whateverdomain.com
DocumentRoot “C:\rootstuff”
ServerName servername.com

that works, but lets say I want a specific subdomain of my domain to forward to another site. How would I do that?
I tried:

ServerAdmin admin@whateversite
DocumentRoot “http://thesiteIwanttoforwardto.com/”
ServerName servername.com

but apache won’t start when I do this.

To elaborate, I want people to be able to access my own server at www.mysitename.com but if they go to www.mysitename.com/subdirectory then it will forward them without the use of html redirection and display www.theothersite.com’s page (A virtual host mirror)

In the pilot episode, I cover Apache virtual host configuration under Debian-based Linux. I’m sponsored by VaultTec and there’s even a mess up or two. Tech Shot is my attempt at a technology how-to/tutorial show. If you need to know how to do something for Windows or Linux, with hardware or software, or even how to stop that Runner better than Logan and Francis, I’ve got you covered. Please be aware that I am aware of all of the problems with this video. I had major technical difficulties from the start. Primarily my camera and microphone died and I had to record this entire thing with a point-and-shoot digital camera. Hence the lighting is off, the audio isn’t leveled properly (post editing simply made it worse), and the rendering from my video editor shaved off some of the titles. I promise that things will get better as I learn better techniques and get better equipment.

Hi All, I am trying to create virtual hosts on apache on linux box. My httpd-vhosts.conf is as follows:
NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerAdmin admin@site1.com
ServerName www.site1.com
ServerAlias site1.com
DocumentRoot “/nfs/site1/html”

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

ErrorLog logs/site1/error_log
CustomLog logs/site1/access_log common

Similarly, I’ve another virtual host for site2 whose docroot is “/nfs/site2/html”.

I’ve added the following lines in /etc/hosts file: IP_Address www.site1.com IP_Address www.site2.com Now, If I open browser and type my IP address then it is executing the code in /nfs/site1/html folder. But if I try to access www.site1.com from browser its displaying the message “website cannot be found”. So I used www.site1.com:80, still I get the same error message. Can anyone please help me on this.
Thanks,
Mohan

I want to emulate my web hosting account locally for development and testing, using WAMPSERVER 2.0 under Windows..

So I can add an entry in the .hosts, eg. “local.mydomain.com” pointing at “127.0.0.1″, no problem there, but how do I get Apache configured to use the virtual host name? I have no problem setting up folder aliases, eg. localhost/mydomain, I just don’t know how to map the virtual host name to a directory like you would do in an alias.

Next issue is enabling url rewriting. I uncommented the line “LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so” in httpd.conf but this doesn’t seem to be enough.. I am using Drupal 6.6 but it is detecting that rewrite is not enabled, possibly this is because it is running from an alias folder..

Quick 10 points for first correct answer, I don’t need a long detailed write up on Apache config. Thanks.

I am running Red Hat with Apache v.2. I am trying to set up my machine to host my club website as well as my family website. I’ve gone through the Apache site to try and get it running but to no luck. Has anybody done this before who can help me get this set up and running? I’ve got the code available if you wan to look at it – everything compiles correctly and I have the service running, I just get a file not found error when I set it up as a virtual host. If I have it set with just one website (no virtual hosting) it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

I changed the order of the containers and the same happens. When I type the address it goes to the default vhost container. (the first one)
