Hi, all. I 'm quite new in linux. Please pardon me if I don,t use the right terminology. I ,m using Ubuntu 7.04 and I have webmin and virtualmin installed as control panels. I recently configured my two domains to linode dns and they point fine to my linode. However when try to host the domains in my linode, both domains show the same web contents.

I'm really confused. What do I do?

You'll need to check that your webmin/virtualmin is setting up the VirtualHost(s) inside apache correctly. Debian based distributions should have the apache configuration within /etc/apache (or /etc/apache2)

For an example of what it's supposed to be:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/examples.html

Thanks. But I can't find the configuration file : /etc/apache2 for the configuration settings. I can create virtual hosts automatically with virtualmin for two domains : www.mydomain1.com, www.mydomain2.com . Both domains resolve to my server IP. How can I access the apache configuration file on ubuntu 7.04?

Still trying to resolve the problem. When I restarted apache this is what I got:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my IP.

Thanks.

One minute of Googling your error message turned up this: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/VirtualHostsMixingPorts

Also, I don't know where the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0 and *:0 are coming from--Apache shouldn't be listening on port 0 normally.

[smeago]

Thanks. I have fixed the port mixing problem. But all my domains still showing the same web contents. I only upload web pages in one of my domain which I have configured to linode dns but all other domains show the same web pages even when I did not uplaod to the virtual hosts.


Any further help will be appreciated.


Thanks.

I've had the same problem, everything non-configured by virtualmin showed up the first domain I did configure, but I've added this to my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file at the section where all the Vhosts were :

Code:
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks
allow from all
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Now it shows up as empty (since /var/www/html is empty too), could also post a message there or whatever.

I'm on CentOS btw, so the config might differ.

[smeago]

Thanks. I will try this out and see how it goes.

This problem is discussed in the Virtualmin documentation:

http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/id,troubleshooting_common_problems/#the_wrong_site_shows_up

It's basically exactly what the previously linked Apache documentation talked about.

In short you've got ports and addresses configured incorrectly in your Apache configuration--Virtualmin doesn't touch the NameVirtualHost directives (though you can set them in Webmin's Apache module), and so if you've configured it incorrectly all of your virtual hosts will be broken.

And to answer the earlier suggestion that Webmin or Virtualmin may not know about Debian-based distros locations, it definitely does. Debian and Ubuntu are both well-supported (and Jamie and I use Debian on some of our own systems).
