Re: [SLUG] DNS and Apache issue

Thanks Conrad for the reply. You're right as with the other posts - it was the server alias. Putting a *.icafe.com.au is also a good tip for another site I have to do later. thanks again Ben Conrad Parker wrote: On Fri, May 28, 2004 at 11:03:08PM +1000, Ben Donohue wrote: Even if I put in DNS www.icafe.com.au IN A 203.35.247.13 (for instance) it does not go to the correct virtual server but to the first virtual server created. (in this instance isidore.org.au). i've restarted Apache, DNS and cleared cache files ad nauseum. also rebooted boxes! (old windows habit) Any clues as to why the www makes things to go awry? possibly because you don't have any virtuals for http://www.icafe.com.au/ or http://www.pamphlets.com.au/ ie. you've configured virtuals for http://icafe.com.au and http://pamphlets.com.au/. But http://www.icafe.com.au/ is the URL for a different domain, and apache doesn't know anything special about it, so it serves out its default content. Try adding a ServerAlias for *.icafe.com.au: <VirtualHost *> ServerName icafe.com.au ServerAlias *.icafe.com.au # ... the rest of the config ... </VirtualHost> Conrad.
