Here is the problem, if you visit the site directorybest.net you will see the correct website (which is defined in apache). But if you go to the www version of the site a catch all site for and from IIS is displayed. I have no idea what this is causing this.
I have another site that already runs fine on apache from which I copied the info for DNS and vhost settings. I also have set the DNS up so that both sites point to the same ip address. Does anyone know why the www version of the site does not show the right website?
Here is the vhost information for both the working and non working site.
NameVirtualHost *
#non-working site
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#email.com
ServerName www.directorybest.net
ServerAlias directorybest.net *.directorybest.net
DocumentRoot "D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\2"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\2>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
# Logfiles
ErrorLog D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\2\logs\error.log
CustomLog D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\2\logs\access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
#working site
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin#email.com
ServerName www.directorybest.info
ServerAlias directorybest.info *.directorybest.info
DocumentRoot "D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\1"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\1>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
# Logfiles
ErrorLog D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\1\logs\error.log
CustomLog D:\WWW\DirectoryBest\1\logs\access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Ok so I was just informed that the company has had DNS problems before. And upon further checking the local DNS had not been updated and was still resolving to the old ip address.

I have obtained SSL certificate from sslforfree and stored them on relevant path
I also edited etc\hosts file

Issue
I can able to browse them from the server(windows) itself , but can't able to access them from outside. the relevant domain names are purchased and added a A record to point the IP.
Notes
Using Amazon AWS EC2 instance
Added Inbound Rules on 80 & 443, And also added firewall rules on 80 & 443
Would you tried in another PC to visit them since you changed your host file on your PC.
If they can be visited then you need remove the record of your host file.
If not, please try:
Does both the A record of WWW and Non-WWW have been pointed to IP.
If pointed, please tell me what error or message you see on browser when you load the websites.
If there're no error or message which means they are blank page, please try to check is there any htaccess file, do you enable the rewrite mod of xampp.
I got VH working fine.
Localhost and my first site (which is attached to a domain) work absolutely fine, no issues.
However I wanted to add a second site (3rd if you include localhost) to experiment with a new site. However after having added it, it simply seems to re-direct to the first site's domain. They are both wordpress installations (although the 3rd isnt installed yet as I cant access it) but I'm not sure if that's relevant.
Here's my two relevant files;
httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/mysite"
ServerName mysite.local
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/mysite">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
ErrorLog "logs/mysite-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/mysite-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info#mydomain.co.uk
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/wordpress"
ServerName mydomain.co.uk
ServerAlias www.mydomain.co.uk
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/wordpress">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog "logs/wordpress-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/wordpress-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
As explained.. localhost works, mydomain.co.uk works (name changed for privacy reasons but it works!). mysite.local does not it just redirects to mydomain.co.uk ???? (I tried a bunch of names including mysite.localhost, etc etc-- nothing works! I don't care what the name is I just want to be able to access it, will be buying a domain for it soon).
Any help is appreciated. Thank-you!
Here's hosts file although it's pretty self explanatory;
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mysite.locals
127.0.0.1 mydomain.co.uk
::1 localhost
::1 mysite.local
::1 mydomain.co.uk
I have 1 ubuntu 14.04 server from DO and two independant WordPress installations I'm trying to run off the same server
Have two apache vhost config files:
000-default.conf and 001-default.conf
Now when navigating to domain1.com everything works flawlessly. The entire website is working as expected. But there is a problem with going to domain2.com it will automatically redirect to domain1.com. Basically the problem is I can't get to the WordPress installation screen on domain2.com
Here is the conf file under sites available for domain1.com (000-default.conf):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#gmail.com
ServerName domain1.com
ServerAlias www.domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
config file for domain2.com (001-default.conf):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#gmail.com
ServerName domain2.com
ServerAlias www.domain2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/htmlposts
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/htmlposts>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Additional information:
In /var/www/html I have the WordPress files for domain1.com and everything works.
In /var/www/htmlposts/ I have extracted the WordPress files for domain2.com
it looks like this: http://prntscr.com/d4h9gu
I have created an index.html file in /var/ww/htmlposts which is the directory for domain2.com and when I navigate to domain2.com/index.html the file displays as expected but when I navigate to domain2.com/wp-admin/install.php which should start the wp installation process for instance #2 "domain2.com" it shows an already installed error which looks like this: http://prntscr.com/d4hhav
There are two databases on the server. One is for domain1.com and the other database is an empty one that I created for domain2.com. Both are correctly pointed in their respective wp-config.php files.
Can you compare the config.php of the 2 sites. Make sure that the database names in both the config.php files are different.
I'm building a portal for the organization I'm working at.
The portal is a Wordpress site using Wampserver 2.5, intalled on a Win server 2008 R2.
It's working fine and accesible from other machines over the intranet, thanks to the helpful and patient RiggsFolly.
But now, I have changed it into a network of sites so that I can build sub-portals for the different departments in my organization.
During that change Wordpress gave this warning message: Warning! Wildcard DNS may not be configured correctly!
Wordpress has a page explaining how to configure wildcard subdomains on Apache - http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Wildcard_Subdomains.
I tried following it but the explanation lacks details and I'm probably doing something wrong.
On the machine where the servers and site are installed, when I write http://hipo (hipo is the current site name) in the browser's address bar, I get to the site fine.
But when I write http://depa.hipo (depa is a subsite I created successfully), the address changes into http://www.depa.hipo/ and the browser says it didn't find a server at that address.
I have probably set the ServerAlias line wrong in httpd-vhosts.conf, and also I didn't add the line *.example.com A 192.0.43.10, or in my case *.hipo A <rightIP>, cause I wasn't sure where to add it in the file.
This is my httpd-vhosts.conf file. Your help is appreciated!
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/hipo"
ServerName hipo
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/hipo">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/hipo"
ServerName subsites.hipo
ServerAlias *.hipo
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/hipo">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This definition does not have a ServerAlias so try adding one like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/hipo"
ServerName hipo
ServerAlias www.hipo
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/hipo">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have two installs of wordpress on a single Amazon EC2 server. One of them is just a regular wordpress install, the other being a wordpress network install, with WP Domain Mapping installed.
So let's say I have four domain names: site.example.com, multisite.example.com, multisite1.com and multisite2.com
All of the domain names are pointing to the same IP address. Multisite1.com and multisite2.com are domain mapped to blogs under the multisite.example.com wordpress network
On my server httpd.conf is setup as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root#localhost
DocumentRoot /persistent/html/site1
ServerName site.example.com
ErrorLog logs/site_error_log
CustomLog logs/site_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root#localhost
DocumentRoot /persistent/html/multisite
ServerName multisite.example.com
ErrorLog logs/multisite_error_log
CustomLog logs/multisite_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
Right now, all of the domains seem to go to the right place - until I start getting to the wp-admin panel.
site.example.com/wp-admin and multisite.example.com/wp-admin appear to work fine.
multisite1.com/wp-admin and multisite2.com/wp-admin both seem to redirect to site.example.com/wp-admin instead of multisite.example.com/wp-admin.
I can't figure out why. I have tried putting all of the domain names in the virtual host as ServerAlias but it doesn't seem to have helped. I've also put in a wildcard ServerAlias under multisite.example.com as well, but no luck.
Any ideas? It is a bizarre install I know, but for the time being for other reasons, I have to get it to work this way. I will eventually separate the two.
Create a new sites-available entry for each of your sub-domain or virtual host for each sub-domain pointing to the same web root and reload the apache. After that all will work fine.
For e.g.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root#localhost
DocumentRoot /persistent/html/multisite
ServerName multisite1.com
ErrorLog logs/multisite_error_log
CustomLog logs/multisite_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root#localhost
DocumentRoot /persistent/html/multisite
ServerName multisite2.com
ErrorLog logs/multisite_error_log
CustomLog logs/multisite_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
