Hi, I have a computer with windows xp32 behind a router that has apache 2.2.1.0. The router has a static ip and I configured it to redirect to the computer that has apache. I also tested it works from a computer at a different location, a basic "It works!" page can be requested.
I pointed a domain name to this static ip address. I created three subdomains pointing to @, which means they all point to the same static ip address. I tested from the remote computer and this works, the test page can be retrieved. I wanted to use virtual hosts so that if I typed the static ip address on my browser, the server would respond as if it was a request to the root folder. If I typed the domain name (no subdomain), the server would respond as if it was a request to the root folder. If I typed the domain name with a subdomain (one of them being www), the server would respond as if it was a request to a SUBFOLDER, each subdomain has a subfolder with the same name as the subdomain within htdocs, one folder has a index.php file that contains phpinfo();, the other two are empty. No matter what I do I can only get all subdomain, domain and ip requests to point to the root OR to the first subdomain folder I entered on httpd.conf, all at the same time, so I am unable to achieve my objective. File structure: ========== F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/ F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/index.html -> "It works!" F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/ F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/a/ F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/a/index.php -> "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/b/ F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/c/ Here is my latest configuration, I put this at the end of httpd.conf: =============================================== <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot "F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs" DirectoryIndex index.html #index.html exists at that folder </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName a.abcde.com ServerAlias a.abcde.com DocumentRoot "F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/a" DirectoryIndex index.php #index.php exists at that folder </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName b.abcde.com ServerAlias b.abcde.com DocumentRoot "F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/b" DirectoryIndex index2.php #index2.php doesn't exist </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName c.abcde.com ServerAlias c.abcde.com DocumentRoot "F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs/subdomains/c" DirectoryIndex index3.php #index3.php doesn't exist </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName abcde.com ServerAlias abcde.com *.abcde.com DocumentRoot "F:/web/Apache2210/htdocs" DirectoryIndex index.html #index.html exists at that folder </VirtualHost> There are no typos on the censored domain/subdomain names, just checked again. For testing I tried to open: =================== 1. IP address 2. abcde.com 3. a.abcde.com All three returned index.html Then tried the other two subdomains and they return index.html. If I change the order so that a.abcde.com's virtualhost is first then all my results become index.php. Yes, I save the config then reset apache. NameVirtualHost ============================= Originally I didn't have NameVirtualHost but now I have this line before the virtualhost definitions: NameVirtualHost <static ip address>:80 I can't seem to do what everyone can, I hope I am just missing something simple.
