Apache 2 - virtual host question
Hi gang,
I have a question on Apache 2, running on RedHat Linux 8 server that's pretty up2date.
I have two DNS servers running on a hosting server geographically separate from my server. In the index.html file I have a meta refer that goes back to my server on port 8080. This all works just dandy, but by the time the page goes back to my IP, it goes to the apache general page, not my home page.
Here's my httpd.conf file:
NameVirtualHost 68.101.124.184:8080
<VirtualHost 68.101.124.184:8080>
DocumentRoot /var/www/advancedglobalsol
ServerName 68.101.124.184
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory /var/www/advancedglobalsol
AuthType Digest
AuthName "family"
AuthDigestFile /etc/webmin/passwd/digest
Require user family
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I left out the rest for sake of space and simplicity, so if it is necessary, please let me know and I'll send you the whole file.
I can't figure out what the problem is.
TIA,
Mike

PJ, to answer your question, yes, I have two interfaces on my RedHat Linux 8 box, one LAN interface, going to my cable modem, and another wireless card, going to my LAN.
I have an intranet I'm hosting on the LAN side, and two sites www.journeyministriesinc.org, www.advancedglobalsolutions.com, on my WAN side.
The DNS host company will not let me put any of my own records on their server w/o charging me a fee, so I'm stuck with having to circumvent the whole thing. So far, I have the http redirect meta for the advancedglobal site.
Now, problem is, I can't get the site to resolve (ie: when you came to it, you said there was a construction page? Should be my page). the other site doesn't even come up, nor does my intranet, although I have it named after my server, and setup in apache.

Still gives an Advanced Global Solutions (Under Construction) page:)
If you can't get the DNS working, then it is virtually impossinle to have virtual hosts, as http1.1 is required for virtual hosts (on the same interface).
Sort out the DNS, then come back to this - why try and make life difficult (impossible?) :)
If you can't ping it, then hey - no change of seeing the webpage! :)

Should resolve to this:
http://68.101.124.184:8080/
I'm showing it is. Maybe it's something internal to me.

Yep - double clicking on that also gives me the test page:)

Try using trace, and ping and see if it gets to that address, in which case your routing is OK. Then have fun woth the firewalls:)
Just to let you know that there is something funny going on with:

at the moment. I get a NetFirms free web hosting and then it moves on to the Advanced Global Solutions (Under Construction) page.
Sorry makes sense - you've redirected it in the meta tags:

Yeah, that's my only option right now. They won't work with me on DNS, and my ISP blocks port 80, so that's the best I've been able to come up with so far.
/me thinks you need to change ISP:)...and possibly web host?
ASKER
Wish I could, but me have no $, thus, my predicament.

Can I manipulate my DNS by putting my DNS server, www-1.advancedglobalsoluti
I thought of doing that, and then if it worked, starting up the other website to they'll both go to their respective page on port 8080, or putting the other site on, say, port 8010 or something.
Does this make sense?

Think I figured it out. Thanks for all the help.

A pleasure - What you're suggesting..is virtually what I'm doing with my domain and the DNS - Problem is the blocking of port 80, so you can't connect directly to it on your own server:(
All the best..and...don't let the b*******ds get you down!

Could you try to fix the ServerName directive to have the your hostname instead of IP address. IE, if you website is www.yoursite.tld, then try using
ServerName www.yoursite.tld
cheers.
