Newbie - Virtualhosts

My setup

Latest ver of apache for Windows (2000), firewall forwarding TCP:80 to
192.168.0.50 (my apache server)

When I goto www.domain1.com I get my test page, but if I goto
domain2.net I also get domain1's test page and vice-versa with other
test files. Another test I did was to stick in phpinfo.php into
domain2's data directory (not in domain1's) and went to
www.domain2.net/phpinfo.php and it came up, why is this?

Port 80

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.50

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/domain1
ServerName domain1.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/domain2
ServerName domain2.net
</VirtualHost>



It's driving me mad, please help!
Many thanks

Use * instead of the IP address

You should add a <Directory -therootdirhere-> in each VirtualHost.

Thanks for the info Davide your a star!

I've bought 2 apache books for help and search the newsgroups, is it
possible you can give me an example of how to use the <Directory>
command? I only installed Apache yesterday and an finding it more
better than clunky iis!

Check your httpd.conf, there should be already a preconfigured
<Directory > section in there. This is just an example, tweek and
twist at your will:

<Directory /here/put/your/docrootdirectory/path>
Options -Indexes
OptionOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Thanks for the info Davide


I've managed to get it working from an internal workstation from the
firewall but outside requests don't work, feels like i'm loosing the
battle here..!

I'm allowing in TCP & UDP packets to my internal address but it
doesn't work :(

It seems apache is taking the first virtual host from the list of the
3 to use as the default?

If he can't understand which VHost you want (because the request is
mangled) he will use the first VHost. If this happen only from outside
and not from your internal network, it's possible that the problem is
in the firewall/router performing NAT and mangling the request.
