VirtualHosts fail in Apache

Hello everyone !

I'm tring to set virtualhosts in apache2.

In apache2.conf, I set :
ServerName mylocalIP
NameVirtualHost *

I've made a first virtualhost like this :

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName  webmail.mydomain.tld

        # Indexes + Directory Root.
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        DocumentRoot /var/www/webmail/

        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/webmail/error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/webmail/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Code (markup):

I've made a second virtualhost like this :

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName  phpbb.mydomain.tld

        # Indexes + Directory Root.
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        DocumentRoot /var/www/phpbb/

        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/phpbb/error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/phpbb/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Code (markup):

I did a a2ensite webmail + a2ensite phpbb + apache2 reload.

To test, I use a computer out of my network :
- When I go to "webmail.mydomain.tld", I see my webmail -> OK
- When I go to "phpbb.mydmain.tld", I see my webmail -> Not OK
- When I go to "mydomain.tld", I see my webmail -> Not OK
- When I go to "something.mydmain.tld", I see my webmail -> Not OK

"something.mydomain.tld" isn't a virtualhost I created, it doesn"t exists.

Question are how to make :
- "webmail.mydmain.tld" goes to /var/www/webmail/
- "mydmain.tld" goes to /var/www/
- "something.mydmain.tld" goes to /var/www/ ?

Thanks a lot

 

Why will you see Webmail for the above 3 URLs, if their DocumentRoot is not pointing to /var/www/webmail/ ? They should point to their own DocumentRoot.

BTW, make sure the A record for phpbb.mydmain.tld and mydmain.tld is set to your server IP. And a wildcard DNS record set to point to mydmain.tld.

You need to add the VirtualHost entry for each of the URL you are trying to access including *.mydomain.tld for something.mydomain.tld to work. Make sure you set an A record for all the sub-domains including wirld-card i.e. * to point to your server IP. The entry should be placed in the DNS zone of the mydomain.tld file.

 

Okay, and in the Bind conf file, must I specify my LAN IP adress, or my WAN IP adress ?
Actually, all my Bind conf file is configured with LAN IP adress (192.168.x.x)

Thanks a lot

 

You should specify the WAN IP address in the DNS zone files. Make sure you have WAN IP address for all the entires of a domain. LAN IP won't do...

 

yes u didnt set the WAN IP just check on it..!

 

Hello,

First, thanks for your replies, it was very helpful for me.
I set my subdomains in my Bind configuration : this is more efficient this way...lol.

I don't use my WAN IP, my Bind server is also used on my LAN, it works like this, do you judge I must use my WAN IP ? My server is behind a router and I forward 80 traffic to my LAN IP server ? Wait and see, it's not important at the moment, it works...

I got a new problem now, with another kind of VirtualHost.
I must make a redirection with apache to another server by the port 80 with this Virtualhost config :

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName glpi.mydomain.tld
        <Proxy *>
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>
        RewriteEngine on
        ProxyPass               / http://192.168.x.x/glpi/
        ProxyPassReverse        / http://192.168.x.x/glpi/

        # Logfiles
        ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/glpi/error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/glpi/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Code (markup):

I activate "RewiteEngine", "Proxypass", "ProxyPassReverse" modules, and on my LAN, when I type http://192.168.x.x/phpbb it works.

When I try to go to glpi.mydmain.tld, it doesn't display pictures, I got text, but no pictures. I repeat I works fine on my LAN.

I do the same kind of VirtualHost with phpbb and I works from the WAN.

Is there a module to activate or something ?

Thanks a lot !
