Multiple Sites on One IP

Hi, I'm new to Linode and still learning the set-up process, but have come across a problem I cannot resolve…

I have set the basics up for my server and all working. The hostname for the server is nserv.org (added to the /etc/host and /etc/hostname [Ubuntu 18.04] files).

I have two domains pointing to the Linode nameservers… nserv.org and bytilly.com. They have both been added as domains on the same Linode, I have set-up their DNS records. Both sites have been added to Apache etc and have basic index.html files in their respective public_html folders.

The problem then is if you go to nserv.org in the browser, it instantly loads bytilly.com which itself never loads - the browser just tries to refresh the whole time. If you go to bytilly.com directly, the browser tries to refresh the whole time.

Any ideas? I can ssh to nserv.org etc so all that part works, but I'm confused on what I have broken with having two domains on one IP. Any ideas very much welcome.

Thanks,

Simon

Hey Simon,

This sounds like there's an issue with your vHost (apache) or your Server Blocks (NGiNX) file, which would explain why when you go to nserv.org it will get pointed to bytilly.com. I added a link to NGiNX's and Apache's website for examples explaining the possible configurations for having multiple domains with one IP address.

Make sure that you restart apache or NGiNX after you make these configuration adjustments.
