There are virtual - servers, called <em>vhosts</em>, which are defined by - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> - sections.</p> - - <p>The directives - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverpath">ServerPath</a></code>, - and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> - can appear anywhere within the definition of a server.

The main_server has no default - <code>ServerPath</code>, or <code>ServerAlias</code>. The - default <code>ServerName</code> is deduced from the server's IP - address.</p> - - <p>The main_server Listen directive has two functions. One - function is to determine the default network port Apache will - bind to. The second function is to specify the port number - which is used in absolute URIs during redirects.</p> - - <p>Unlike the main_server, vhost ports <em>do not</em> affect - what ports Apache listens for connections on.</p> - - <p>Each address appearing in the <code>VirtualHost</code> - directive can have an optional port. If the port is unspecified - it defaults to the value of the main_server's most recent - <code>Listen</code> statement. The special port <code>*</code> - indicates a wildcard that matches any port. Collectively the - entire set of addresses (including multiple <code>A</code> - record results from DNS lookups) are called the vhost's - <em>address set</em>.</p> - - <p>Unless a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code> - directive is used for a specific IP address the first vhost - with that address is treated as an IP-based vhost.

Note that - subsequent <code>Listen</code> statements for this vhost will not - affect the ports assigned in the address set.</p> - - <p>During initialization a list for each IP address is - generated and inserted into an hash table. If the IP address is - used in a <code>NameVirtualHost</code> directive the list - contains all name-based vhosts for the given IP address. If - there are no vhosts defined for that address the - <code>NameVirtualHost</code> directive is ignored and an error - is logged. For an IP-based vhost the list in the hash table is - empty.</p> - - <p>Due to a fast hashing function the overhead of hashing an IP - address during a request is minimal and almost not existent. - Additionally the table is optimized for IP addresses which vary - in the last octet.</p> - - <p>For every vhost various default values are set. In - particular:</p> - - <ol> - <li>If a vhost has no <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveradmin">ServerAdmin</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#timeout">Timeout</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#keepalivetimeout">KeepAliveTimeout</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#keepalive">KeepAlive</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#maxkeepaliverequests">MaxKeepAliveRequests</a></code>, - <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#receivebuffersize">ReceiveBufferSize</a></code>, - or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sendbuffersize">SendBufferSize</a></code> - directive then the respective value is inherited from the - main_server. (That is, inherited from whatever the final - setting of that value is in the main_server.)</li> - - <li>The "lookup defaults" that define the default directory - permissions for a vhost are merged with those of the - main_server. This includes any per-directory configuration - information for any module.</li> - - <li>The per-server configs for each module from the - main_server are merged into the vhost server.</li> - </ol> - - <p>Essentially, the main_server is treated as "defaults" or a - "base" on which to build each vhost. But the positioning of - these main_server definitions in the config file is largely - irrelevant -- the entire config of the main_server has been - parsed when this final merging occurs. So even if a main_server - definition appears after a vhost definition it might affect the - vhost definition.</p> - - <p>If the main_server has no <code>ServerName</code> at this - point, then the hostname of the machine that <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> - is running on is used instead. We will call the <em>main_server address - set</em> those IP addresses returned by a DNS lookup on the - <code>ServerName</code> of the main_server.</p> - - <p>For any undefined <code>ServerName</code> fields, a - name-based vhost defaults to the address given first in the - <code>VirtualHost</code> statement defining the vhost.</p> - - <p>Any vhost that includes the magic <code>_default_</code> - wildcard is given the same <code>ServerName</code> as the - main_server.</p> - -</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> -<div class="section"> -<h2><a name="hostmatching" id="hostmatching">Virtual Host Matching</a></h2> - - <p>The server determines which vhost to use for a request as - follows:</p> - - <h3><a name="hashtable" id="hashtable">Hash table lookup</a></h3> - - <p>When the connection is first made by a client, the IP - address to which the client connected is looked up in the - internal IP hash table.</p> - - <p>If the lookup fails (the IP address wasn't found) the - request is served from the <code>_default_</code> vhost if - there is such a vhost for the port to which the client sent the - request.

The server will give - a warning in the error logfile when it detects this.</li> - - <li>A <code>_default_</code> vhost catches a request only if - there is no other vhost with a matching IP address - <em>and</em> a matching port number for the request.
