Apache configuration - multiple vhosts

[Sentinel]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to set up apache with multiple vhosts - I want to have 3 websites, each contained in it's own folder but each separate from the other, I have looked at a couple of tutorials, but I can't really figure it out!

I had problems with this - the problem was between different versions of apache - there is loads of documentation for apache 1.3 and apache 2 +
watch out depending on which version you have =)

Gah, its really difficult to get working. I have a test box that I have setup and it just took me ages to get it to work properly!! I'm using 2.2.9 on ubuntu to test it out but finally I got it to work with two vhosts and then tried to add a third and it broke, you have to watch out for directory permissions and for syntax in the file =|

lol! I remember moving my config from 1.3 to 2.0 it was a pain, I ended up just re-writing the entire config by hand, it was easier doing that than trying to debug the broken one!!

If you have a control panel, it should do this for you.

Below is an example of two functional vhosts for the domains domain1.com and site2.com.

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName domain1.com
ServerAlias [url]www.domain1.com[/url]
ServerAlias ftp.domain1.com
DocumentRoot /home/domain1/public_html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName site2.com
ServerAlias [url]www.site2.com[/url]
ServerAlias ftp.site2.com
DocumentRoot /home/site2/public_html
</VirtualHost>

Sorry it says that is HTML code, I had to wrap it in an HTML container on this forum to get it to show right. It goes in your httpd.conf. Of course you just need to change the IP, DocumentRoots and domains to match your needs.
