Hi Marius, Everytime I make a new document root for a different website, say the subdomain loco on trains.ath.cx, do I need to update the DNS?
For foo.trains.ath.cx and bar.trains.ath.cx do I need to make new DNS entries for foo and bar subdomains? Surely I don't? Because browsers will ask for it, and get directed to trains.ath.cx, and my apache will take are of the rest from the HTTP 1.1 Host: field? Thanks :) Cheers, James > On Dec 1 at 01:59, 'James' wrote: > |J|But, with that e.g. that uses an IP address, from day to day I don't > |J|know what my IP address will be, can't I use: > |J|NameVirtualHost fred.trains.ath.cx > |J|<VirtualHost fred> > |J|... foo > |J|</VirtualHost> > > NameVirtualHost * > <VirtualHost *> > ServerName www.foo.com > ... > </VirtualHost> > > specifying '*' as the argument of NameVirtualHost it's a new feature as of > Apache version 1.3.13.
