Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial on how to set up virtual hosts using Apache 2.2? Here's my situation:
I have Apache running on my laptop and I want two websites-- one on port 80 and one on port 8089. I want to access each site from the other computer on my network by entering the computer's IP address, such as http://192.168.1.102 and http://192.168.1.102:8089. Yet when I enter the second url, it directs me to the website running on port 80.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Just have 2 virtual hosts defined like this, but with differeing DocumentRoots:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/docs/dummy-host.somecompany.com"
ServerName dummy-host.somecompany.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.somecompany.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.somecompany.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.somecompany.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8089>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/docs/dummy-host.somecompany.com"
ServerName dummy-host.somecompany.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.somecompany.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.somecompany.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.somecompany.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
First you need to instruct Apache to listen on the ports you need:
Listen 80
Listen 8089
Second you need to tell it what to do with 80 and 8089 traffic:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /website/site80
ServerName internet.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8089>
DocumentRoot /website/site8089
</VirtualHost>
Third you need to "allow" Apache to use those directories:
<Directory "C:/website/site80">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/website/site8089">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
after saving your changes to apache, stop apache and restart it. that might help load the new settings. i know its been months since your post, but maybe this will help you or other people searching for it
