Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by jink: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/VirtualHostAlias New page: If you want to host several development projects at once, but are tired of creating hostnames and directories for every single project, use a setup like this. It uses mod_vhost_alias and requires a wildcard DNS entry, like *.dev.example.com for example. For completeness, create dev.example.com too. Redirect dev.example.com to www.dev.example.com. That will put it in the catch-all vhostalias virtualhost: {{{ <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName dev.example.com Redirect permanent / http://www.dev.example.com/ </VirtualHost> }}} A virtualhost needs a valid server name, so we put that here. Include the wildcard here, too. {{{ <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.dev.example.com ServerAlias *.dev.example.com # %-4+ gives you the 4th part of the hostname from the end, and everything preceding that. # www.dev.example.com becomes www # sub.domain.dev.example.com becomes sub.domain VirtualDocumentRoot /www/dev.example.com/%-4+/htdocs/ CustomLog /var/log/apache2/dev.example.com-access.log combined ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/dev.example.com-error.log # like above, %-4+ gives you the 4th part of the hostname from the end, plus everything before that. # this will setup a /cgi-bin/ ScriptAlias for every vhostalias. VirtualScriptAlias /www/dev.example.com/%-4+/cgi-bin/ # specify options and overrides here. <Directory /www/dev.example.com/> Options None AllowOverride None Order deny,allow </Directory> </VirtualHost> }}} Now, all you need to do is create /www/dev.example.com/www/htdocs/ and /www/dev.example.com/www/cgi-bin/ to get started. >From then on, whenever you need a new hostname, just create the appropriate >directories.
