Here are the settings for one of my multisite servers. I am using Apache2.2 on Debian Squeeze with the backports repo enabled - thus it is not a stock Squeeze install This is even simpler than I thought I would be giving you as the NameVirtualHost directive is in conf.d/virtual.conf If you notice, the apache2.conf file has only the generic server info and all of the specific user configs are in other places. It handles the "did they type www. or not in the virtual config as a server alias. This is not a redirect, which would add details to the url, like you get when you type http://evergreen.lyrasistechnology.org into the address bar, because these 2 directories are simply not shared. The evergreen address is pointed at a directory outside of /var/www and can be shared by multiple clients and the search scope is different in each. ** You may get a warning when you restart apache with this setup because default-ssl is listening on port 443 - the complaint will be that apache does not like mixing virtual servers with port numbers and others without. I haven't had to restart this setup for months, so I don't remember the exact warning message. -Wolf #=======snippet from apache2.conf # Include generic snippets of statements Include conf.d/ #=======Contents of conf.d directory======================= wolf@SERVER-01:/etc/apache2/conf.d$ ls charset localized-error-pages other-vhosts-access-log security virtual.conf #=======Configuration of virtual.conf======================= wolf@SERVER-01:/etc/apache2/conf.d$ cat virtual.conf # running virtual hosts # NameVirtualHost * #======Contents of the sites-available directory============ wolf@SERVER-01:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ ls default default-ssl legacy #======Configuration for dev.example.net==================== wolf@SERVER-01:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ cat default <VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName dev.example.net ServerAlias www.dev.example.net DocumentRoot /var/www/http/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /var/www/http/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.
