Seeking for vhosts tutorial, name-base

[satimis]

Hi folks,


VMWare Server
Bridged connection


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (Host)
Apache/2.2.3
LAN IP 192.168.0.10


CentOS 5 x86_64 (Guest)
Apache
LAN IP 192.168.0.20


Router
All www ports, 80, 443 and 8080 are connected to Ubuntu
No port forwarded to CentOS


Domain
domain1.com - pointing to Ubuntu
domain2.com - pointing to CentOS



Can any folk advise me where can I find a tutorial to setup vhosts, name-base, on Ubuntu? Google search brought me;

HOWTO Apache VirtualHost by IP Address - Gentoo Linux Wiki

which, I think, can be modified for my use. But I can't find /etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/vhosts.conf. Whether I have to create it together with the directories above /conf/vhosts/vhosts.conf. OR their file structure is different to Ubuntu. Advice would be appreciated. TIA

Each distros may or may not have a different vhost conf. BTW, for Centos you can use webmin package from your linux distribution to setup your multiple vhost.

Thanks for your advice.


Webmin is running on Ubuntu NOT on CentOS. I'll test vhost on Ubuntu. Would it be possible pointing one of host to CentOS? This is only test. I wonder whether a domain.com can visit Apache on CentOS running on the same IP addr (one public IP)? Not with domain.com : port (8080/443). TIA

I think you need to create the directory path. I use centos, and I have not
seen that path at any time. For example, I usually keep my virtual hosts files, the files the web server serves, under this path: /opt/www/vhosts. This is a path I created: mkdir -p /opt/www/vhosts.

The vhosts configuration files, I usually keep them under this path:
/etc/httpd/vhosts.d, which I also created. Note that only the path /opt and /etc/httpd existed previously since they are created when you first install your linux system.

My httpd.conf file is under its regular path: /etc/httpd/conf.

Now, if you choose to do things this way, then you would need to add this line on your httpd.conf file:

Include vhosts.d/*.conf

This will load your virtual hosts configuration files onto the httpd.conf file.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.
