apache V-host what am i doing wrong

[Zane217]

Hi, I am well on my way to setting up apache 2.0.47
I Have 2 dyn. dns. from DynDns.org

Zane217.homeip.net
Zane217.homelinux.com

when i point my browser to
http://zane217.homeip.net it shows up correct
when i go to
http://zane217.homelinux.com it shows up correct
I think these two are found on my network not over the internet

when i goto
http://www.zane217.homeip.net it is correct
when i goto
http://www.zane217.homelinux.com i get the page for zane217.homeip.net

I know that the first page in your v-host is the default so i think that is where i am getting the incorrrect page from but how do i fix it.

here is the v-host part of my httpd.conf


#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/web-pages/test1
ServerName zane217.homeip.net
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/web-pages/test2
ServerName zane217.homelinux.com
</VirtualHost>





#<VirtualHost *>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

as you can see from the web pages i am just in the testing stages. they will be up today 9/2/03 and tommorow 9/3/03 you can try them out. or just hack into my box. its all going to be erased and i will start fresh anyway. thanks for your help.

I am running slackware 9.0
I have a linksys router with the slackware computer in a DMZ, and the port is forwarded as well.
I need to change my sig. :)

I've not used apache 2 yet but in 1 you need a 'ServerAlias' directive within your vhost directive, like below:

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/web-pages/test1
ServerName zane217.homeip.net
ServerAlias www.zane217.homeip.net
</VirtualHost>

Another possiblity is that your DNS A-Record doesn't have an entry for the subdomain www.

BTW I tried the links and it seems that your server was down.

thanks ill try it but it seems i have bigger problems. I still get the same results from my end so now i am thinking it might be a router problem. can you ping me and let me know if you get something back. my ip is
24.151.10.118.
thanks.

Ping timed out. What model router do you have? If it's a Linksys go to 'advanced' 'forwarding' and set it up. Or set your computer as a DMZ host temporarily for troubleshooting purposes.

[Zane217]

linksys model is NR041 it is basicly the cheap version of there standard stackable 4 port gateway router and hub. I think it is not working properly. that computer is in a DMZ and the port is forwarded as well thansk for the help but i think it is now a hardware problem that i have to look at.

I've got a linksys 11s4 and had a similar problem sometime ago. If it was working previously (able to connect from outside your network), see if it is using a different network ip now. If so clear your dhcp leases and/or restore it to factory defaults.

Good Luck!
