Virtual hosts keep going to root

[yhuynh]

I have set up my virtual hosts like so:

 

NameVirtualHost *

 

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName localhost:80

DocumentRoot /www

</VirtualHost>

 

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName yemmer

DocumentRoot /www/yemmer

</VirtualHost>

 

However, what i notice is that if i go to:

 

http://yemmer

 

it takes me to /www and not /www/yemmer

 

I have searched through the forums here and haven't found articles related to this problem. Does anyone know what is causing this?

 

I'm on Windows XP.

 

Also my C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file has this:

 

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost:80

 

127.0.0.1 yemmer

 

which looks right.

yhuynh,

 

Your configuration is the same as mine (XP, hosts, httpd.conf) except that I have used a fake domain name (ie.; yemmer.com ) in hosts and the httpd.conf files. I don't see where this would make any difference, but I note it.

 

I also see you have localhost:80 UNCOMMENTED as a virtual host in httpd.conf THIS MAY BE THE PROBLEM... I have it commented out in my httpd.conf (see below)

 

Do you have a valid html file in the root? index.php, .html etc?

 

Localhost is the default choice in httpd.conf and so it will be presented when apache cannot find the specified domain. That's why localhost:80 is first in the list in httpd.conf.

 

I do NOT have localhost (without the port 80) specified in httpd.conf. Look around line 278 for "servername localhost:80". Here's my configuration for comparison, all of which is working:

 

HOSTS example

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost:80

127.0.0.1 GadgetsforGold.Com

127.0.0.1 StopBrite.com

#127.0.0.1 TWPMarket.ing

127.0.0.1 TWPMarketing.com

127.0.0.1 UGM.com

127.0.0.1 cimyadmin.ing

 

HTTPD.CONF example

#<VirtualHost *>

# ServerName localhost:80

# DocumentRoot /www

#</VirtualHost>

 

##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP##########

# GADGETSFORGOLD

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName GadgetsForGold.com

# TWP MARKETING

Hope this helps
