[ale] NameVirtualHost problems

[Jim Popovitch]

Ken,

First, for every website make sure that you have defined a directory
entry that can be used as DocumentRoot, they should be in this format:

   <Directory /home/billybob/public_html>
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
   </Directory>

Next you will need one or more VirtualHost entries per website, Here is
an example of 2 entries used for one site:

   <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10>
      ServerAdmin admin at billybob.net
      ServerName billybob.net
      DocumentRoot /home/billybob/public_html
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache/billybob_error_log
      CustomLog /var/log/apache/billybob_access_log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10>
      ServerAdmin admin at billybob.net
      ServerAlias www.billybob.net web.billybob.net
      Redirect permanent / http://billybob.net
   </VirtualHost>

Notice how the second section permanently redirects the 'www' and 'web'
requests to the main site. You can even use wildcards in the
ServerAlias statement.

No, I don't own (or care to own) billybob.net. :)  But if you want to
try this out, here are a few sites that I do have configured:

  http://fotw.jimpop.net will redirect to http://flagspot.net
  http://anything-else.jimpop.net will rewrite to http://jimpop.net
  http://jimpop.net/ermb will redirect and rewrite to
http://netcoolusers.org/archive

hth,

-Jim P.
