+ | ==== 1. IP-based versus Name-based Virtual Hosting ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Apache webserver supports two types of Virtual Hosting: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * IP-based Virtual Hosting | ||
+ | * Name-based Virtual Hosting | ||
+ | |||
+ | When using IP-based Virtual Hosting the webserver hosts multiple IP-addresses on its LAN card (IP-aliasing). All these IP-addresses refer to the same physical server. When a client (Webbrowser) refers to a particular IP-address the IP destination address in the IP-header will be distinctive however. The webserver can be set up such that it maps each IP-address to a different "DocumentRoot". This is called "IP-based Virtual Hosting". | ||
+ | |||
+ | Name-based Virtual Hosting takes this concept one step further. | ||
+ | On a particular IP-address the webserver additionally can be configured to take | ||
+ | in account the "Host" field of the HTTP/1.1 header: | ||
+ | ((HTTP/1.0 (very old browsers) won't work, since there is no Host field.)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | GET / HTTP/1.1 | ||
+ | Host: www.company2.com | ||
+ | User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.9) ... | ||
+ | Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/ht ... | ||
+ | ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | This behaviour is called "Name-based Virtual Hosting". | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 2. Example Apache Name-based Virtual Hosting ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | File: /etc/apache/httpd.conf: | ||
+ | |||
+ | NameVirtualHost typhoon | ||
+ | |||
+ | <VirtualHost typhoon> | ||
+ | ServerName www.company1.com | ||
+ | DocumentRoot /var/www/company1 | ||
+ | </VirtualHost> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <VirtualHost typhoon> | ||
+ | ServerName www.company2.com | ||
+ | DocumentRoot /var/www/company2 | ||
+ | </VirtualHost> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first step is to enable "Name-based Virtual Hosting" on a particular IP-address of the server. This is the role of the "NameVirtualHost" directive. If the server has multiple IP-addresses, these addresses can be enabled for "Name-based Virtual Hosting" using multiple "NameVirtualHost" directives. As the argument of the directive an IP-address or a Hostname can be specified. \\ Note: If a Hostname is specified, the name must be resolvable into a server IP-address! | ||
+ | |||
+ | The next step is adding <VirtualHost > ... </VirtualHost> containers for each "NameVirtualHost". \\ Note that the argument string after "ServerName" must exactly match the "Host" field in the HTTP/1.1 header. Thus, when a client specifies a simple Hostname instead of the Fully Qualified Domain Name the "ServerName" directive will not match and the server will default to the first "DocumentRoot" for this IP-address. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If an IP-address is enabled for "Name-based Virtual Hosting" the main server "DocumentRoot" will never be consulted when referring to this IP-address. Other directives e.g. <Directory > ... </Directory> containers remain in effect however. You can override these directives by repeating them in a <VirtualHost > ... </VirtualHost> container. | ||
