Hi Adam

Thanks for your reply. 

Yes, I did c/p and then replace the domains with the placeholders.

I too noticed that there wasnt any entry for url1.mydomain.com, and I have been 
down the same process you advised of starting with one working and gradually 
adding.

So I start off with httpd.conf and the relevant lines are:

NameVirtualHost *:80
>
>
>Include conf.d/*.conf
>
>
><IfDefine PROXY>
><VirtualHost *:80>
>ServerName url1.mydomain.com
>ServerAlias surl1.mydomain.com
><Location /epages/>
>    <IfDefine LB>
>        ProxyPass balancer://cluster/epages/
>        ProxyPassReverse balancer://cluster/epages/
>    </IfDefine>
>    <IfDefine !LB>
>        ProxyPass xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>        ProxyPassReverse  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>    </IfDefine>
></Location>
></VirtualHost>
></IfDefine>
>
>Only the first VirtualHost is specified. apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS produces:

VirtualHost configuration:
>127.0.0.1:443          localhost (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:81)

But navigating to url1.mydomain.com brings up my epages website (which is 
correct). 

So then I go and add in a second VirtualHost

<VitualHost *:80>
>
>
>DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myroot
>ServerName url2.mydomain.com
>ServerAlias url2.mydomain.com
></VirtualHost>

VirtualHost configuration:

>Syntax OK

>So now Apache knows about url2, but still doesnt know about URL1.

And now, url1.mydomain.com and url2.mydomain.com both go to my second site, 
never epages.

Sorry for the long message, just trying to show the steps I've taken and the 
output at each stage.

Thanks again for your help.

Tom

Tom,

Sorry for the belated reply.

I'm assuming you copy/pasted this out and replaced the real domains to 'protect 
the innocent'.  But if you didn't flub copy/paste, I --do not-- see any 
indication that Apache knows what to do or will do anything specific when a 
request comes in for 'url1.mydomain.com'.  If you notice the output above, you 
will always default to 'url2.mydomain.com' for any HTTP request coming in on 
that listening service on that IP address.  There isn't --any-- VirtualHost 
reference to 'url1' listed.

I forgot what your VirtualHost containers looked like for both ur1 and ur2 
domains, but I think you definitely just take a isolation approach to it:  work 
with one, get it working with it's own VirtualHost container, then add another 
vhost in and so on, then re-verify with 'apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS' and from 
a web browser.  From there once you get it nailed down, then do any merging for 
maintenance sake on your .conf files.

Hope that helps.
