If you are only hosting domains and no subdomains, you could use something like
[tt]VirtualDocumentRoot /path/to/vhosts/%-2.0.%-1.0[/tt]
Your structure would then be [tt]/path/to/vhosts/domain.tld[/tt], so all requests for domain.tld would serve files from that directory.

I host several domains and subdomains on my server, where I use a structure like [tt]/path/to/vhosts/domain.tld/sub/subsub[/tt], and I have symlinks in [tt]/path/to/vhosts/domain.tld[/tt] named [tt]www[/tt] and [tt]_[/tt] pointing to the current directory ([tt].[/tt]). //Daniel

Now my brain really hurts! :)

I expect I will end up with sub.sub.domain.com, sub.domain.com and domain.com for some domains and others that are just domain.com.

Thanks for the tips.

danielhozac:
Mandrake 9, 1.3.26

Wullie:
I've read that but something else seems to be wrong.

My access log shows

customeyes.biz 208.199.169.69 - - [26/Feb/2003:21:57:51 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 349

My httpd.conf I added

<VirtualHost *:80>
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/ VirtualScriptAlias /var/ ServerSignature EMail
</VirtualHost>

In DynamicVhosts.conf

UseCanonicalName Off
LogFormat &quot;%V %h %l %u %t \&quot;%r\&quot; %s %b&quot; vcommon
CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon

In commonhttpd.conf

ServerAdmin moon-admin@usa-pass.net
and changed all the your_domain.com to a real domain

I added the file structure customeyes.biz and /docs and /cgi-bin but if I go to I get a forbidden page.

I just thought my brain hurt a while ago! :)

A couple of other things that might help,

With the default setup and regular virtual domains I originally had moon.usa-pass.com showing the default apache page.

In other words, it was working (just to eliminate that question).

What are the permissions of the directories in question? What do you get in your error_log? //Daniel

I get this in my error log

[Thu Feb 27 06:44:02 2003] [error] [client 208.199.169.69] client denied by server configuration: /var/
Permissions on the entire folder structure itself is root/root, rwxr-xr-x until you get to /docs which add rwxrwxr-x to /docs and index.html is rw-r--r--

That did it!

I'd have been foreever trying to figure that one out.

Thanks a million.

One last question, how do I create a symlink to the current folder? Google isn't helping me here either!

 
Upvote 0 Downvote
Open a console window and change to the directory where you want to add the symlink. Then execute this command:
[tt]ln -s . www[/tt]
The general syntax is [tt]ln -s <target> <symlink name>[/tt]. //Daniel
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
OK! that worked, but it doesn't resolve from a browser. Do I need to restart Apache?

I took a look at the symlink with File Manager and inside the link (www) it has a a copy of the folders in that directory including one of itself ( If I look in the copy of itself (www) there is another copy and so on, is this right?

From a command prompt I cannot change into it (cd not work).
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
Oops! CD work (I was in the wrong directory with the command line before). I also notice that any attempt to cd just leaves me in the same folder. This makes sense. Using File Manager threw me there.
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
Yes, this is the expected behaviour. Unfortunately, it's the only way I have effectively accomplished this effect though. If you find another way to do it, I'd be more than happy to try it out :-).

If it doesn't resolve, do you have the correct domain name and DNS servers set up on your box?
//Daniel
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
Well the domain without just fine, just when I add it comes back with page cannot be found.

In dns I have an A record for moon.usa-pass.com = the IP address and an A record for = IP too. (Win 2K DNS server, no DNS on the Linux box itself). They both resolve with nslookup.

Maybe I have the link in the wrong place? I put it in /var/
My VirtualDocumentRoot is /var/
Did I do that right or does the symlink need to go into /docs?

BTW, my guess is the only other way to do it would be to have something always strip the header (if exists) - any idea on how to do that?
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
The [tt]www[/tt] symlink goes in whereever your [tt]VirtualDocumentRoot[/tt] directive tells it to go... What does your [tt]VirtualDocumentRoot[/tt] say? //Daniel
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
OK, so I put it into moon.usa-pass.com/docs

I also added Options FollowSymLinks to

<Directory /var/ AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

but still no joy :(
