If there is more than one virtual host + containing this best-match address and port combination, Apache will further + compare the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> directives to the server name + present in the request.</p> + + <p>If you omit the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> + directive from any name-based virtual host, the server will default + to a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) derived from the system hostname. + This implicitly set server name can lead to counter-intuitive virtual host + matching and is discouraged.</p> + + <h3><a name="defaultvhost" id="defaultvhost">The default name-based vhost for an IP and port combination </a></h3> + <p> If no matching ServerName or ServerAlias is found in the set of + virtual hosts containing the most specific matching IP address and port + combination, then <strong>the first listed virtual host</strong> that + matches that will be used.</p> +</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="using" id="using">Using Name-based Virtual Hosts</a></h2> + +<table class="related"><tr><th>Related Modules</th><th>Related Directives</th></tr><tr><td><ul><li><code class="module"><a href="../mod/core.html">core</a></code></li></ul></td><td><ul><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code></li></ul></td></tr></table> + + <p>The first step is to create a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block for + each different host that you would like to serve. Inside each <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block, you will need at minimum a + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> directive to designate + which host is served and a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> + directive to show where in the filesystem the content for that host + lives.</p> + + <div class="note"><h3>Main host goes away</h3> + <p> Any request that doesn't match an existing <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> is handled by the global + server configuration, regardless of the hostname or ServerName.</p> + + <p> When you add a name-based virtual host to an existing server, and + the virtual host arguments match preexisting IP and port combinations, + requests will now be handled by an explicit virtual host. In this case, + it's usually wise to create a <a href="#defaultvhost">default virtual host</a> + with a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> matching that of + the base server. New domains on the same interface and port, but + requiring separate configurations, can then be added as subsequent (non-default) + virtual hosts.</p> + </div> + + <div class="note"><h3>ServerName inheritance</h3> + <p> It is best to always explicitly list a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> in every name-based virtual host.</p> + <p>If a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost">VirtualHost</a></code> doesn't specify + a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code>, a server name will be + inherited from the base server configuration. If no server name was + specified globally, one is detected at startup through reverse DNS resolution + of the first listening address. In either case, this inherited server name + will influence name-based virtual host resolution, so it is best to always + explicitly list a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> in every + name-based virtual host.</p> + </div> + + <p>For example, suppose that you are serving the domain + <code>www.example.com</code> and you wish to add the virtual host + <code>other.example.com</code>, which points at the same IP address. + Then you simply add the following to <code>httpd.conf</code>:</p> + + <pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><VirtualHost *:80> + # This first-listed virtual host is also the default for *:80 + ServerName www.example.com + ServerAlias example.com + DocumentRoot "/www/domain" +</VirtualHost> + +<VirtualHost *:80> + ServerName other.example.com + DocumentRoot "/www/otherdomain" +</VirtualHost></pre> + + + <p>You can alternatively specify an explicit IP address in place of the + <code>*</code> in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> directives. For example, you might want to do this + in order to run some name-based virtual hosts on one IP address, and either + IP-based, or another set of name-based virtual hosts on another address.</p> + + <p>Many servers want to be accessible by more than one name. This is + possible with the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> + directive, placed inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> section. For example in the first <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block above, the + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> directive indicates that + the listed names are other names which people can use to see that same + web site:</p> + + <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ServerAlias example.com *.example.com</pre> + + + <p>then requests for all hosts in the <code>example.com</code> domain will + be served by the <code>www.example.com</code> virtual host. The wildcard + characters <code>*</code> and <code>?</code> can be used to match names. + Of course, you can't just make up names and place them in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> or <code>ServerAlias</code>. You must + first have your DNS server properly configured to map those names to an IP + address associated with your server.</p> + + <p>Name-based virtual hosts for the best-matching set of <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><virtualhost></a></code>s are processed + in the order they appear in the configuration. The first matching <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> is used, with no different precedence for wildcards + (nor for ServerName vs. ServerAlias). </p> + + <p>The complete list of names in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost">VirtualHost</a></code> + directive are treated just like a (non wildcard) + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code>.</p> + + <p>Finally, you can fine-tune the configuration of the virtual hosts + by placing other directives inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> containers. Most directives can be + placed in these containers and will then change the configuration only of + the relevant virtual host. To find out if a particular directive is allowed, + check the <a href="../mod/directive-dict.html#Context">Context</a> of the + directive. Configuration directives set in the <em>main server context</em> + (outside any <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> + container) will be used only if they are not overridden by the virtual host + settings.</p> + +</div></div> +<div class="bottomlang"> +<p><span>Available Languages: </span><a href="../de/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="de" rel="alternate" title="Deutsch"> de </a> | +<a href="../en/vhosts/name-based.html" title="English"> en </a> | +<a href="../fr/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="fr" rel="alternate" title="Français"> fr </a> | +<a href="../ja/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="ja" rel="alternate" title="Japanese"> ja </a> | +<a href="../ko/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="ko" rel="alternate" title="Korean"> ko </a> | +<a href="../tr/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="tr" rel="alternate" title="Türkçe"> tr </a></p> +</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img src="../images/up.gif" alt="top" /></a></div><div class="section"><h2><a id="comments_section" name="comments_section">Comments</a></h2><div class="warning"><strong>Notice:</strong><br />This is not a Q&A section.
