Apache: How do I make a virtual host mirror?

Posted by admin | Virtualhosting | Tuesday 31 January 2012 7:00 pm


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)

How do sites like blogger store virtual hosts?

Posted by admin | Virtualhosting | Sunday 29 January 2012 2:10 pm

I know that you can have virtual hosts in app servers like tomcat and apache. Most of the solutions I know of require you to list the vhosts in a text file which, I understand, requires tomcat/apache to be restarted. So my questions are two:

- Is there any way to store this information in a database? I’ve seen an apache module somebody wrote, but a large-scale solution would require that information to be cached because it changes so seldom.
- If it is stored in text files (perhaps automatically copied there from database contents), do all the servers have to be restarted? And doesn’t that take a long time, during which the servers are unavailable? I cannot see a system like blogger.com having its servers being constantly taken down and back up.

Is wubi for ubuntu really a virtual machine?

Posted by admin | Virtualhosting | Saturday 28 January 2012 2:49 pm

It doesn’t really need a host OS except for installing and uninstalling, it is installed from windows and is all contained in one folder instead of a partition. All of these make it look like it’s a virtual machine, yet you have to restart and boot into ubuntu in order to use it, which makes it sound like it’s not a virtual machine.. Any ideas?

Which is the best choice for a virtual machine?

Posted by admin | Virtualhosting | Friday 27 January 2012 2:04 pm

I’ve used Microsoft’s Virtual PC for Windows XP. By ‘best’ I mean:
- fast
- support for hardware virtualization (CPU feature)
- as new as possible emulated hardware, like video adapters with video memory > 8 MB
- secure; host OS should not be (easily) accessible from within guest OS. It would be fine if they were isolated.
- USB support in order to transfer data between guest and host
Optional:
- undo state
- state snapshots

The price isn’t a matter.

Tech Shot 1 – Apache Virtual Host Config

Posted by admin | Virtualhosting | Wednesday 25 January 2012 2:09 pm


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.
