Virtual hosts on same ip AND port

Question

Is this even possible?

My current vhost.conf entries:

<VirtualHost www2.b-page.lv:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/b-page"
    ServerName b-page
    ServerAlias www2.b-page.lv
    ErrorLog "logs/b-page.lv-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/b-page.lv-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www2.m-page.lv:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/m-page"
    ServerName m-page
    ServerAlias www2.m-page.lv
    ErrorLog "logs/m-page.lv-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/m-page.lv-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

hosts file:

127.0.0.1       www2.b-page.lv
127.0.0.1       www2.m-page.lv

These pages will run on the same server, with same CMS. Any help or guides would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Solution 1

Yes it is possible and quite common, you want name based virtual hosts. There are basically two types virtual hosts, name based and ip based. It gets more complicated with name based if you intended to run SSL, but it is still possible.

It works by looking at the HTTP header in the request to see the domain name being requested.

dont forget to put :

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

above vhosts definitions

Solution 3

If the configs are as straight forward as your examples, then you may want to look at mod_vhost_alias
