The NamevirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xxx and <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> need to contain the IP address of the public web server interface. The howto incorrectly states:
NameVirtualHost my.real.host.name <VirtualHost my.virtual.host.name>
Well, the howto is written from my known working setup here, so it's not specifically incorrect. In fact, the actual lines from my Apache config read: NameVirtualHost ch208h.cae.tntech.edu <VirtualHost www.cae.tntech.edu> ServerName www.cae.tntech.edu Now, there could be other issues with your local setup that using IP addresses happened to work around. Things to check: - do you use extra IP address aliases on the Apache/Zope server? We're only using one IP, and doing name-based virtual hosting. - are both forward and reverse DNS queries working? Are you avoiding DNS entirely and using a hosts file? - Did the DNS administrator set up the virtual hosts as CNAMEs, or as multiple A records? I'll certainly update the howto in the event I've done something wrong, or if your situation and workaround are commonplace. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
