I know this is more of an Apache question, but I'm hoping someone on
this list with more experience in Pylons deployment can give me some
advice here.
I have a server running Debian 6. I am serving multiple Pylons web
applications using Apache2 to reverse proxy different domain names to
different Pylons apps running on different ports.
The setup I currently have is partially successful. I have a static
IP. I also have a number of subdomains of my university department's
domain resolving to my IP address. These subdomains are:
- mysubdomain.department.university.com
- abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com
- def.mysubdomain.department.university.com
- ...
The file /etc/apache2/sites-available/
mysubdomain.department.university.com successfully forks various
further subdomains to different Pylons apps. For example,
abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com serves Pylons app 1,
def.mysubdomain.department.university.com serves Pylons app 2, etc.
The file /etc/apache2/sites-available/
mysubdomain.department.university.com looks something like the
following.
[code]
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com
ServerAlias abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ retry=5
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName def.mysubdomain.department.university.com
ServerAlias def.mysubdomain.department.university.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8081/ retry=5
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8081/
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
[/code]
Now, I also have a domain, mydomain.com, that resolves to my IP
address. If I enter http://mydomain.com into my browser, I get the
default web app of my server. However, I have not succeeded in using
the same approach as above to fork subdomains of my domain to various
Pylons apps. That is, I can't even get www.mydomain.com to work.
I have a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.com that looks
something like the following.
[code]
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
# Proxy
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ retry=5
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
[/code]
Then I enable these configuration files and restart Apache:
[code]
a2ensite mydomain.com
a2ensite abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[/code]
The result is that mydomain.com,
abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com and
def.mysubdomain.department.university.com all work as expected but
www.mydomain.com returns a "Server not found" error.
I ultimately want to have mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com and
mysubdomain.department.university.com to all point to the same app
(e.g., App #1). Then I want abc.mysubdomain.department.university.com
and abc.mydomain.com to point to the same app (e.g., App #2). Then I
want def.mysubdomain.department.university.com and def.mydomain.com to
point to the same app (e.g., App #3). Etc.
Is this possible?
I had a hunch that I need to edit my /etc/hosts and/or my /etc/
resolv.conf files but the various changes I made there seemed to have
no effect. (Btw, running "hostname -f" returns "X.Y" where X is my
hostname and Y is "mysubdomain.department.university.com".)
If I run
host www.mydomain.com
I get
Host www.mydomain.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
But also, if I run
dig www.mydomain.com
I see that mydomain.com is listed in the "AUTHORITY" section.
I appreciate any help. Please let me know if more information is
needed.
