I usually set up all domains I want by name, and then stick in default to catch those that use the IP, and just shove them somewhere unimportant. If they dont use the host header, they are probably not the type I want anyway. The default goes in the main httpd.conf in case I need to comment out the vhosts for some reason. so heres my $0.02 (someone will tell me Im dead wrong I bet but I use Mass Virtual Hosting for hunderds of sites) Also not sure why you say you dont have the NameVirtualHost directive, that needs to be there. NameVirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80 #---------goes inside httpd.conf <VirtualHost _default_:80> ServerName _default_ #etc stuff that you don't care about </VirtualHost> #-goes inside httpd-vhosts.conf <VirtualHost webdev.miltonstreet.com:80> ServerName webdev.miltonstreet.com DocumentRoot "/http/www/webdev.miltonstreet.com" ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/webdev.miltonstreet.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/webdev.miltonstreet.com-access_log combined <Directory "/http/www/webdev.miltonstreet.com"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost webdev2.miltonstreet.com:80> ServerName webdev2.miltonstreet.com DocumentRoot "/http/www/webdev2.miltonstreet.com" ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/webdev2.miltonstreet.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/webdev2.miltonstreet.com-access_log combined <Directory "/http/www/webdev2.miltonstreet.com"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> #........ Now you should know that without the _default_ virtualhost the first of these two vhosts will be served up, that is webdev.miltonstreet.com if nothing else matches, so _default_ can be thought of as a catch all that can go anywhere in any conf file and be the one served up when nothing matches, but if you comment it out, which ever vhosts is defined first will be served in nothing matches, Are you on a lan, make sure that your hosts file are setup to point webdev.miltonstreet.com to the correct IP 10.10.10.10 webdev.miltonstreet.com in the example above. That way everyone outside will be port forwarded from your public to the internal IP, however if you request a server from inside you will go straight to the private IP, rather than being directed by the public DNS to the public IP which will cause you trouble. Apologies if you really did want to serve a site when the IP is requested, but usually this is not want people want as it messes up all your cookies and so on. -- Matthew Farey
