RE: Apache web server

Hi Douglas

We don't use Apache on the 400, but do use it on a Windows server and use
virtual domains to run multiple sites.  The following is an example of our
virtual hosts settings:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.mydomain.com:80
    ServerAlias mydomain.com *.mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx
    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/mydomain"
    Alias /webmail "C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/htdocs/webmail/mydomain/"
    ErrorLog logs/mydomain_errors.log
    CustomLog logs/mydomain.log combined env=!dontlog
    ErrorDocument 400 /400error.html
    ErrorDocument 401 /401error.html
    ErrorDocument 403 /403error.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /404error.html
</VirtualHost>

To handle sub-domains, such as "webmail.mydomain.com" we use cloaked web
forwarding through our DNS provider so that "webmail.mydomain.com" forwards
to "www.mydomain.com/webmail" as defined in the Alias setting above.

Hope it helps

Jonathan

Subject: Apache web server

We would like to add a virtual host to our apache server but are having a
difficult time getting it to work.  It needs to be named based virtual
hosting.

We added the following to the http.conf file, but all it does it display the
default page:

<Virtualhost www.subdomain.cwtruck.com>
DocumentRoot /www/subdomain
</VirtualHost>

I know there are other directives that we can add, but for now we were just
trying to get the index.html to display......

What else am I missing or failing to do?
