Virtual Hosts

[eeeboy]

I want to setup VirtualHosts in Red Hat Linux [Fedora CORE 1].

Please some one describe it elaborately.

Thanx in Advance.

Do you mean that you want to setup virtual hosts in Apache?

Which version of Apache are you running? The httpd.conf syntax has evolved quite a bit -- even between 2.1 and 2.2!

The easiest way to learn about setting up virtual hosts is to read the comments in the default httpd.conf file. Here's an excerpt:

# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog /var/log/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog /var/log/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

More comprehensive documentation can be found in the Apache Virtual Host documentation.
