hi,

can any one give me steps to configure a virtual server on an exisitng
webserver running apache .

what i have done is :

configured the existing network interface allready having an internal
address to support another one using ifconfig and it works fine.

now when i try to access the virtual site i still get the contents of
the existing site :-( any ideas.


in my httpd i have put as follows:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxx.net
DocumentRoot /home2/foo/baan
ServerName xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ErrorLog logs/xxx-error_log
CustomLog logs/xxx-acess_log common
</VirtualHost>

where xxx is the external ip address of the new domain.

Do i need to make anyother change anywhere else so that i can get the
virtual domain instead of the original one.

pls advice
TIA

It is not clear how you have your network and routing configured or what
you mean by "external" ip (local LAN or internet). It could even be that
one IP answers for either IP, which might confuse other network testing.

If that "external" IP is not ON your server (ie, server has private IP),
then I do not think it will work as an IP based virtual host from outside
your network.

But without a hostname associated with the IP, I do not know how you would
get NameVirtualHost working either.
