Server Help

[Solo Ace]

This is what I want to do, kind of:

Apache runs on 123.123.123.123 (port 80) with hostname toolonghostname.abc.isp.com.

I want http://123.123.123.123/ to open /var/www/default/, and
I want http://toolonghostname.abc.isp.com/ to open, also, /var/www/default/.

Now say I have a dns record somewhere which I want to use, like forums.dns.com.

I'd like http://forums.dns.com/ to open /var/www/forums.

So I want a VirtualHost setup like this:

Code: Show/Hide http://123.123.123.123/ -> /var/www/default/ http://toolonghostname.abc.isp.com/ -> /var/www/default/ http://forums.dns.com/ -> /var/www/forums

I'm pretty sure this works like this on this (MGB's) server too.

http://server2a.woolnet.net/ AND http://64.91.230.181/ -> phpSysInfo
https://forums.minegoboom.com/ -> phpBB2
http://www.minegoboom.com/ -> Some weird page.

All of this, on one and the same server.

So, MGB, what's your secret? I really have no clue after trying everything.

Or, whoever can help me fixing this VHost config...

[Mine GO BOOM]

A simple google search of vhosts will tell you a bunch.

Code: Show/Hide NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80>         ServerName 207.210.96.187         DocumentRoot /var/www/phpsysinfo         <Directory /var/www/phpsysinfo>                 Options FollowSymLinks                 AllowOverride None         </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80>         ServerName minegoboom.com         ServerAlias www.minegoboom.com         DocumentRoot /home/mgb/public_html         <Directory /home/mgb/public_html>                 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews                 AllowOverride None                 Order allow,deny                 allow from all         </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80>         ServerName www.forums.minegoboom.com         Redirect / http://forums.minegoboom.com </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80>         ServerName forums.minegoboom.com         DocumentRoot /home/mgb/public_html/forums         <Directory /home/mgb/public_html/forums>                 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews                 AllowOverride None                 Order allow,deny                 allow from all         </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Just an outline of all the good meat of the virtual hosts. Each of my subdomains are actually in their own seperate file and enabled/disabled very quickly. Pretty much how Debian's Apache2 package is installed.

Note that minegoboom.com is actually on the server2a.woolnet.net server while the forums are on mineplowers.com server, but the above configurations should outline exactly what you need.

I see. It was just in the order it seems. Thanks, I spent like 5 hours on trying to get this fixed...
I know it sounds stupid because it's supposed to be very simple, but heh, maybe I just missed this version.

Thanks. I'm trying to get some "blackboards"-like system up for my school (Moodle).
And, well, maybe forums.

I hate some things about Debian (which I just ran into) now. But heh, I can finally do what I wanted to do now.

So what? I know lighttpd is nice, but I'm not going to use something because it's 'easier' to configure.

We use Moodle (CS Department only) and Blackboard here, though there is a push to move off of BB since it's proprietary and apparently you can't just "get all of your documents that you've put on it" according to my CS prof.

Blackboard does stink, we used it at my alma matter. It's funny being able to say that.
