Apache Virtual hosts won't work.

Posted on April 18, 2014

I have two domains hosted on my droplet, I have the virtual hosts setup. But my second domain keeps going to the first one’s directory for some reason.

This is the Apache VHosts file for the first one:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/computingessentials

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/var/www/computingessentials/logs/error_log"

</VirtualHost>

And this is for the second one:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/crunchyvps

<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/var/www/crunchyvps/logs/error_log"

</VirtualHost>

I have used ajenti to generate both of the files

From what you posted, it looks like you’re missing the ServerName directives. Each virtual host section needs a ServerName directive to tell it what domain name to listen for. Optionally, you can also use a ServerAlias directive to assign additional domain names: <br> <br>ServerName example.com <br>ServerAlias *.example.com <br> <br>Apache will, by default, assign the first virtual host loaded to be the fallback so any unrecognized domains will go there.
