[noellees1]

Hi, i have setup a webdomain spanoweb.com and also created a cname for this (subdomain) paulself.spanoweb.com this all works ok spanoweb resolved to my home computer but heres the problem, i went to setup virutal hosting and added these lines:

<VirtualHost *>
UseCanonicalName Off
ServerAdmin noel@spano.co.uk
ServerName

http://www.spanoweb.com

ServerAlias spanoweb.com
DocumentRoot "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "D:/program files/apache group/apache2//cgi-bin/"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
UseCanonicalName Off
ServerAdmin noel@spano.co.uk
ServerName

http://www.paulself.spanoweb.com

ServerAlias paulself.spanoweb.com
DocumentRoot "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/paulself"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/program files/apache group/apache2/paulself/cgi-bin/"
</VirtualHost>

except when there enabled like that they both either go to the home folder and ignore the one which is taking it to the paulself id, what is wrong, are these namebased or ip based as if there namebased i still have #NameVirtualHost * like that will i need to remove that? thanks
Also any ideas will help. or other ways to do this

P.S i am using * instead of ip because i have a dynamic ip

you will need a seperate ip or a different port for the 2nd site, browser is looking at ur ip on port 80 for both of the urls. if you do not have a 2nd ip, use a redirect to port 81 denoted by *:81 for your ip adress on either 1 or the other sites

That is incorrect, this example is name based virtualhosts.

To run name based virtualhosts, you do not need a different port or a different IP address, you can run an unlimited amount of sites on the same IP and port.

Hope this helps
