Can't get virtual servers to work

In short: Added a virtual server (tried both via virtualmin and webmin's Create virtual host) -- when I access this domain, I still get routed to the default content in /var/www/

Setup: New Ubunto 10.04 install on EC2. Installed Virtualmin + Webmin via install.sh script.

Some debugging info from "Existing Virtual Hosts":

Virtual Server  Any 80  Automatic   /var/www
Virtual Server  184.169.135.20  80  crossfitdata.com    /home/crossfitdata/public_html

From /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

Include the virtual host configurations:

Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ NameVirtualHost 184.169.135.20:80 DocumentRoot /var/www allow from all Options +Indexes

It looks like my new domain's configuration is included @ /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/crossfitdata.com.conf

SuexecUserGroup "#1001" "#1001" ServerName crossfitdata.com ServerAlias www.crossfitdata.com ServerAlias webmail.crossfitdata.com ServerAlias admin.crossfitdata.com DocumentRoot /home/crossfitdata/public_html ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/crossfitdata.com_error_log CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/crossfitdata.com_access_log combined ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/crossfitdata/cgi-bin/ ScriptAlias /awstats/ /home/crossfitdata/cgi-bin/ DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php4 index.php5 Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI allow from all AllowOverride All AddHandler fcgid-script .php AddHandler fcgid-script .php5 FCGIWrapper /home/crossfitdata/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php FCGIWrapper /home/crossfitdata/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php5 allow from all RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =webmail.crossfitdata.com RewriteRule ^(.) https://crossfitdata.com:20000/ [R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =admin.crossfitdata.com RewriteRule ^(.) https://crossfitdata.com:10000/ [R] RemoveHandler .php RemoveHandler .php5 IPCCommTimeout 31 Alias /dav /home/crossfitdata/public_html Alias /pipermail /var/lib/mailman/archives/public DAV on AuthType Basic AuthName "crossfitdata.com" AuthUserFile /home/crossfitdata/etc/dav.digest.passwd Require valid-user ForceType text/plain Satisfy All RemoveHandler .php RemoveHandler .php5 RewriteEngine off AuthName "crossfitdata.com statistics" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/crossfitdata/.awstats-htpasswd require valid-user RedirectMatch /cgi-bin/mailman/([^/.])(.cgi)?(.) https://crossfitdata.com:10000/virtualmin-mailman/unauthenticated/$1.cgi$3 RedirectMatch /mailman/([^/.])(.cgi)?(.) https://crossfitdata.com:10000/virtualmin-mailman/unauthenticated/$1.cgi$3

Can anyone give me some hints as to why this new domain isn't getting routed to the content I put in /home/crossfitdata.com/public_html??

Thanks!

Howdy,

It looks like that default VirtualHost that's in there is causing trouble... where it says this:

Virtual Server Any 80 Automatic /var/www

That "Any" will cause it to override other domains on the system.

My recommendation would be to either remove that VirtualHost altogether from Apache, or to edit it's config file, and change the VirtualHost entry from this:

To this:

And then restart Apache.

It looks like what you pasted in didn't take?

I removed the "Any" line (so I only have a domain specific virtual server now). Now if I access the IP or the domain, I get the same 404 error:

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Am I still missing something?

Note:

/var/log/apache2/error.log shows both the IP direct access and the domain access both give this error:

[Sun Feb 19 18:48:07 2012] [error] [client 76.90.29.184] File does not exist: /htdocs

Clearly the routing is still not working...hmm!

Thanks much for any advice!

I spoke too soon. Now all subdomains route to the first one (actionmeasurement)...

Virtual Server  Any 80  actionmeasurement.com   /home/actionmeasurement/public_html Open..
Virtual Server  Any Any andyabramson.org    /home/andyabramson/public_html  Open..
Virtual Server  Any 80  crossfitdata.com    /home/crossfitdata/public_html Open...

Arg.

Removing the IP restriction to the specific domain made this work (for at least one domain). Adding another domain to verify. Any idea why (change from IP to ANY)?

Apache can be very picky about which virtual host it deems it has to use for a particular request. :)

If you're interested in the deeper details, there's a good explanation for it in the Apache documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/details.html
