Therefore you need to + have a separate IP address for each host. With name-based virtual + hosting, the server relies on the client to report the hostname as + part of the HTTP headers. Using this technique, many different hosts + can share the same IP address.</p> + + <p>Name-based virtual hosting is usually simpler, since you need + only configure your DNS server to map each hostname to the correct + IP address and then configure the Apache HTTP Server to recognize + the different hostnames. Name-based virtual hosting also eases + the demand for scarce IP addresses. Therefore you should use + name-based virtual hosting unless there is a specific reason to + choose IP-based virtual hosting. Some reasons why you might consider + using IP-based virtual hosting:</p> + + <ul> + <li>Some ancient clients are not compatible with name-based virtual + hosting. For name-based virtual hosting to work, the client must send + the HTTP Host header. This is required by HTTP/1.1, and is + implemented by all modern HTTP/1.0 browsers as an extension. If you + need to support obsolete clients and still use name-based virtual + hosting, a possible technique is discussed at the end of this + document.</li> + + <li>Name-based virtual hosting cannot be used with SSL secure servers + because of the nature of the SSL protocol.</li> + + <li>Some operating systems and network equipment implement bandwidth + management techniques that cannot differentiate between hosts unless + they are on separate IP addresses.</li> + </ul> + +</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="using" id="using">Using Name-based Virtual Hosts</a></h2> + +<table class="related"><tr><th>Related Modules</th><th>Related Directives</th></tr><tr><td><ul><li><code class="module"><a href="../mod/core.html">core</a></code></li></ul></td><td><ul><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverpath">ServerPath</a></code></li><li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code></li></ul></td></tr></table> + + <p>To use name-based virtual hosting, you must designate the IP + address (and possibly port) on the server that will be accepting + requests for the hosts. This is configured using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code> directive. + In the normal case where any and all IP addresses on the server should + be used, you can use <code>*</code> as the argument to <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code>. If you're planning to use + multiple ports (e.g. running SSL) you should add a Port to the argument, + such as <code>*:80</code>. Note that mentioning an IP address in a + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code> directive does not + automatically make the server listen to that IP address. See + <a href="../bind.html">Setting which addresses and ports Apache uses</a> + for more details. In addition, any IP address specified here must be + associated with a network interface on the server.</p> + + <p>The next step is to create a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block for + each different host that you would like to serve. The argument to the + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> directive + should be the same as the argument to the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code> directive (ie, an IP address, + or <code>*</code> for all addresses). Inside each <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block, you will need at minimum a + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> directive to designate + which host is served and a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> + directive to show where in the filesystem the content for that host + lives.</p> + + <div class="note"><h3>Main host goes away</h3> + <p>If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you + must also create a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block for the existing host. The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> included in this virtual host should be the + same as the global <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> and + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code>. List this virtual + host first in the configuration file so that it will act as the default + host.</p> + </div> + + <p>For example, suppose that you are serving the domain + <code>www.domain.tld</code> and you wish to add the virtual host + <code>www.otherdomain.tld</code>, which points at the same IP address. + Then you simply add the following to <code>httpd.conf</code>:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + NameVirtualHost *:80<br /> + <br /> + <VirtualHost *:80><br /> + <span class="indent"> + ServerName www.domain.tld<br /> + ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld<br /> + DocumentRoot /www/domain<br /> + </span> + </VirtualHost><br /> + <br /> + <VirtualHost *:80><br /> + <span class="indent">ServerName www.otherdomain.tld<br /> + DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain<br /> + </span> + </VirtualHost><br /> + </code></p></div> + + <p>You can alternatively specify an explicit IP address in place of the + <code>*</code> in both the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> directives. For example, you might want to do this + in order to run some name-based virtual hosts on one IP address, and either + IP-based, or another set of name-based virtual hosts on another address.</p> + + <p>Many servers want to be accessible by more than one name. This is + possible with the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> + directive, placed inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> section. For example in the first <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> block above, the + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveralias">ServerAlias</a></code> directive indicates that + the listed names are other names which people can use to see that same + web site:</p> + + <div class="example"><p><code> + ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld + </code></p></div> + + <p>then requests for all hosts in the <code>domain.tld</code> domain will + be served by the <code>www.domain.tld</code> virtual host. The wildcard + characters <code>*</code> and <code>?</code> can be used to match names. + Of course, you can't just make up names and place them in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> or <code>ServerAlias</code>. You must + first have your DNS server properly configured to map those names to an IP + address associated with your server.</p> + + <p>Finally, you can fine-tune the configuration of the virtual hosts + by placing other directives inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> containers. Most directives can be + placed in these containers and will then change the configuration only of + the relevant virtual host. To find out if a particular directive is allowed, + check the <a href="../mod/directive-dict.html#Context">Context</a> of the + directive. Configuration directives set in the <em>main server context</em> + (outside any <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> + container) will be used only if they are not overridden by the virtual host + settings.</p> + + <p>Now when a request arrives, the server will first check if it is using + an IP address that matches the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code>. If it is, then it will look at each <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> section with a matching + IP address and try to find one where the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> or <code>ServerAlias</code> matches the requested + hostname. If it finds one, then it uses the configuration for that server. + If no matching virtual host is found, then <strong>the first listed virtual + host</strong> that matches the IP address will be used.</p> + + <p>As a consequence, the first listed virtual host is the <em>default</em> + virtual host. The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> from + the <em>main server</em> will <strong>never</strong> be used when an IP + address matches the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code> + directive. If you would like to have a special configuration for requests + that do not match any particular virtual host, simply put that configuration + in a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> + container and list it first in the configuration file.</p> + +</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="compat" id="compat">Compatibility with Older Browsers</a></h2> + + <p>As mentioned earlier, there are some clients + who do not send the required data for the name-based virtual + hosts to work properly.

You are + very unlikely to encounter one of these browsers in use today.

This means that the + pages can be accessed as <code>http://www.domain.tld/domain/</code> + for all clients, although clients sending a <code>Host:</code> header + can also access it as <code>http://www.domain.tld/</code>.</p> + + <p>In order to make this work, put a link on your primary + virtual host's page to + <code>http://www.domain.tld/domain/</code>. Then, in the virtual + host's pages, be sure to use either purely relative links + (<em>e.g.</em>, "<code>file.html</code>" or + "<code>../icons/image.gif</code>") or links containing the + prefacing <code>/domain/</code> (<em>e.g.</em>, + "<code>http://www.domain.tld/domain/misc/file.html</code>" or + "<code>/domain/misc/file.html</code>").</p> + + <p>This requires a bit of discipline, but adherence to these + guidelines will, for the most part, ensure that your pages will + work with all browsers, new and old.</p> + +</div></div> +<div class="bottomlang"> +<p><span>Available Languages: </span><a href="../de/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="de" rel="alternate" title="Deutsch"> de </a> | +<a href="../en/vhosts/name-based.html" title="English"> en </a> | +<a href="../es/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="es" rel="alternate" title="Español"> es </a> | +<a href="../ja/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="ja" rel="alternate" title="Japanese"> ja </a> | +<a href="../ko/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="ko" rel="alternate" title="Korean"> ko </a> | +<a href="../tr/vhosts/name-based.html" hreflang="tr" rel="alternate" title="Türkçe"> tr </a></p> +</div><div id="footer"> +<p class="apache">Copyright 2009 The Apache Software Foundation.<br />Licensed under the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache License, Version 2.0</a>.</p> +<p class="menu"><a href="../mod/">Modules</a> | <a href="../mod/directives.html">Directives</a> | <a href="../faq/">FAQ</a> | <a href="../glossary.html">Glossary</a> | <a href="../sitemap.html">Sitemap</a></p></div> +</body></html>
