I've really been stuggling with this setup. I have purchased three domain names, one from enom and two from cheapnames.
I have one ip address and am running on apache 2.x Xampp version. I have set up the vhosts with named servers. when I run
httpd -S i recieve this setup Please note that "Domainx" has beed substituded for my actual names. for some reason nomatter
which domain name i address to i go to the default web page, uless i do it locally, what am i missing?
httpd -S readout
Setting environment for using XAMPP for Windows.
admin@JEFFERYMORSEMIN C:\xampp
# httpd -S
VirtualHost configuration:
127.0.0.1:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server Domain1.com (C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:51)
port 80 namevhost Domain1.com (C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:51)
port 80 namevhost Doamin2.com (C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:67)
port 80 namevhost mail1.Domain2.com (C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:86)
port 80 namevhost Domain3.com (C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:104)
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
_default_:443 localhost (C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:80)
Syntax OK
admin@JEFFERYMORSEMIN C:\xampp
In httpd.conf
I have un commented include vhosts.conf
However if i comment out the default within httpd.conf the system doesn't work so i change the default to one of the
vhosts domain3.com and localy if i type in http:\\domainX.com we go to the correct page. but if on the net if i type
in it goes to the default page of www.domain3.com even though it shows the url in the address bar correctly
