Heres the relevant part of my httpd.conf: --------------------------------------------------------------------- NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *> ServerName localhost ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /var/www/ ErrorLog /var/log/apache/error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache/access.log combined ServerAlias 192.168.0.1 www.mydomain.org </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName test.mydomain.org ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /var/www/test-mydomain-web/ <Directory /var/www/test-mydomain-web/> Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache/test.mydomain.org-error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache/test.mydomain.org-access.log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName <My External IP> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /var/www/restricted-web/ ErrorLog /var/log/apache/restricted-web-error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache/restricted-web-access.log common </VirtualHost> --------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that apache defaults to the first vhost if it doesnt find a matching HOST in the http header. I've simply setup the "restricted-web" entry to prevent anybody from directly using my IP to access the server. I want people only to use my domain name to refer to it. As this server can serve external requests as well as internal ones. I want it to serve a different website for the intranet as opposed to the internet so I have two different vhost entries. I dunno whether this is the right way to do it but it worked for me. > Any ideas/suggestions on could be missing in my setup? I really cant say because the above setup works for me in Debian Sarge with Apache 1.3.31. BTW you can check your vhost config by running apache -S -- Regards, Dinesh A.
