Confusion on VirtualHost settings

[Dmacman]

Hi All,

I have my server up and running and I have a 3rd party Host company handling the DNS for me. I also had Verizon change the reverse DNS for our machine (since they are my business DSL provider) but I am not sure I setup my VirtualHost correctly.

Here is my httpd.conf (for Virtual Host).
Note, I could not get the "DocumentRoot /htdocs/myname" to resolve so I was forced to use a literal path on the server.

Listen 80

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/myname"
ServerName www.mynamne.org
</VirtualHost>

#<VirtualHost *:80>
#DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/phpMyAdmin"
#ServerName phpMyAdmin
#</VirtualHost>

So if I goto...

IP 71.x.x.x it goes to www.myname.com site
www.myname.com goes to www.myname.com site
192.168.1.100 goes to www.myname.com site

Which would be OK, but when I used to goto 192.168.1.100/phpMyAdmin/index.php I now get the website index.php page.

Where am I going wrong here.

I appreciate the help,

Don

You must use an alias (see mod_alias) in order to map the URL-path phpMyAdmin to the location outside your document root:

Alias /phpMyAdmin "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/phpMyAdmin" 
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/myname"
ServerName www.mynamne.org
</VirtualHost>

You can place the Alias as well into your virtual host container which woult alias this URL-path only, if the virtual host contaioner matched.

Thanks for the help.

I had to put in a virtual Directory that uses another port based on the original name for the 1st Virtual Directory to get into mysql. Here is what I did, was this a hack way or the right way?

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.102:9081>
DocumentRoot "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/phpMyAdmin"
ServerName www.myname.org
ServerAlias www.myname.org
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>

Thanks,
Don
