The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

IP Base Virtual Hosts always seem to resolve to base IP address, can't figure out why

Asked by jonvaljeantiger in Apache Web Server, Linux Networking

Tags: , , , ,

I am setting up VHOSTS on my home server in a way which seems to match the way it is set up on the server I user for work but the behavior is not correct.

The server IP address is 192.168.1.100

I have created 4 virtual hosts, and created their directories under /var/www/vhosts/vh01 through vh04
each one of those directories with a /html and a /log subdirectory.

I have created a series of files called ifcfg-eth0:x  where x is from 1 to 4 and placed them in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
each one of them contains the following lines (sample for the :1 guy, the other three have the proper modifications:

DEVICE=eth0:1
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.1.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

I created 4 files which I placed in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/  with the filenames:

192-168-1-10x.conf  where x is 1 through 4  and which contain:  (the appropriate changes made for each one)

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.101:80>
ServerAdmin jonvaljean@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/vh01/html
ServerName www.gorbeauhome.com
ErrorLog /var/www/vhosts/vh01/log/error_log
TransferLog /var/www/vhosts/vh01/log/access_log
</VirtualHost>

I added the following line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Include conf/vhosts/*.conf

as well as the line

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm


In each of the /vh0x/html/ directories I placed a different index.html  which clearly indicates from which virtual host it is being served


I think I did everytning correctly.


THE PROBLEM:

If i browse to 192.168.1.100  (which is the address of the machine) the index page is served which is in the document root which is listed in httpd.conf

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

if i browse to 192.168.1.101 or 102 or 103 or 104,  I get served THE SAME PAGE

but if I browse to

192.168.1.101/index.htm       I GET THE CORRECT PAGE FROM THE vh01 virtual host, or likewise the others.

So for some reason the Document Root of the base host is always taking precedence when I browse to a directory.

That is not the behavior of the machine I use at work, so I am baffled.

Can you help?

Thanks very much.
