wildcard NameVirtualHosts and default servers:

[agriz]

I created virtual hosts in apache

I didnt change anything in the default config.
i am using nginx with apache

just added these lines at the end of the config file.

<VirtualHost *:8080> 
 ServerAdmin [e-mail] 
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/server1 
 ServerName www.server1.com 
 ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/server1.error.log 
 CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/server1.access.log common 
</VirtualHost> 

<VirtualHost *:8080> 
 ServerAdmin [e-mail] 
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/server2 
 ServerName www.server2.com 
 ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/server2.error.log 
 CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/server2.access.log common 
</VirtualHost>

httpd -S

VirtualHost configuration: 
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: 
_default_:443   s1.server1.com (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:74) 
*:8080     is a NameVirtualHost 
   default server www.server1.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1017) 
   port 8080 namevhost www.server1.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1017) 
   port 8080 namevhost www.server2.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1025) 
Syntax OK

What is wrong?

[phranque]

what problem are you having?

[agriz]

i didn't restart the httpd so far. is that normal?

[agriz]

If i use virtual hosts, do i need to configure named.conf?

[phranque]

are you saying your apache server won't start?
have you checked the server error log for clues?

please clearly describe the problem you are having.

[agriz]

No. Website is in online. SO i have just modified the httpd.conf and i didnt restart the apache so far.

I can't tell whether my config is right or wrong. I am waiting for your confirmation.

If i create virtual hosts, do i need to configure dns too?

Thanks

[phranque]

does an nslookup of the hostnames resolve to the proper IP address(es)?

To clarify: You've got everything set up. You don't know if there's anything wrong. But you're afraid to restart until someone assures you it looks good, because you're afraid your server will explode if you did something wrong?

It's been two days and nobody has screamed No! You can't do it that way! Just be sure you've kept a copy of the previous config file. Do as I say. Not as I do.
