Hi All,
I am totally out of my depth here. I am trying to setup a virtual domain
on Jill's Linux box here.
Reason
------
I have a web based database running on a server at caves.org.au and want
to simulate it at home to develop stuff on it. Some bits of the web
interface expect "caves.org.au" whereas with my Netscape at home I have
http://www.tazieff.speleonics.com.au/database.
Done so far
-----------
In apache http.conf:
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.5
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.5>
ServerName localhost
# ServerName www.caves.org.au
DocumentRoot /home/caves/web
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.caves.org.au>
ServerAdmin mikel@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/caves/web
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog /home/caves/web/logs/error_log
TransferLog "|rotatelogs /home/caves/web/logs/access_log 86400"
TransferLog "|rotatelogs /home/caves/web/logs/error_log 86400"
</VirtualHost>
and /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 loubens.speleonics.com.au loubens
192.168.1.2 martel.speleonics.com.au martel
192.168.1.3 chevalier.speleonics.com.au chevalier
192.168.1.4 tazieff.speleonics.com.au tazieff
192.168.1.5 caves.org.au caves
Results
-------
running "./apachectl configtest" hangs and does not produce the normal
"OK" output so something is wrong with my httdd.conf file.
Netscape hangs at startup probably trying to resolve a non-existant
domain.
Important Point.: I normally connect to my ISP and my machine has an
official domain name speleonics.com.au but I am not the host for
caves.org.au so I don't want it to leak out when connected. I can prob
do this ok as I have two versions of apache loaded.
1. /usr/sbin/httpd which uses /etc/httpd/httpd.conf (and has PHP)
2. /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd which uses
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf (this one runs mod_perl)
1. is started when I connect to my ISP and if I want to run other I
shutdown 1 and start 2.
OK don't laugh :-)
I am quite lost on Virtual Domains, the apache docs do assume you know
what virtual domains are and are quite familiar with them.
