  1. PORoot requests resolving to wrong VirtualHost in Apache
    text
    copied!<p>I have two web sites running behind an Apache server.</p> <p>One of them serves requests to api.xyzzy.com</p> <p>The other serves any other traffic that comes in (dozens of domains, subdomains, etc) and is thus a catch-all wildcard.</p> <p>Using the config below, requests to deep links under <a href="http://api.xyzzy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://api.xyzzy.com/</a>... go to the correct virtual host (the first one), but top-level requests to <a href="http://api.xyzzy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://api.xyzzy.com/</a> load the second catch-all wildcard virtual host instead. </p> <p>What have I done wrong here?</p> <pre><code>LoadModule passenger_module /home/webby/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286/gems/passenger-3.0.18/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so PassengerRoot /home/webby/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286/gems/passenger-3.0.18 PassengerRuby /home/webby/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p286/ruby NameVirtualHost *:80 &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; ServerName api.xyzzy.com ServerAlias api.xyzzy.com RailsEnv production DocumentRoot /home/webby/rails/current/public &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; ServerAlias * &lt;Directory /usr/local/xyzzy/webapps/wwwroot &gt; Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt; DocumentRoot /usr/local/xyzzy/webapps/wwwroot &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>The configuration below appears to be working as expected now. This is based on @Winfield's answer.</p> <p>It seems my testing might have been in error. My browser (Chrome) might have been auto-completing the address I was typing in with an https (not http) prefix. Unfortunately I didn't notice this anomaly until after trying dozens of permutations of configurations so it's hard to tell what the final proper resolution was. I should have been using curl on the command line for a more reliable test rather than typing in the browser bar.</p> <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; &lt;Directory /usr/local/xyzzy/webapps/wwwroot &gt; Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt; DocumentRoot /usr/local/xyzzy/webapps/wwwroot &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; ServerAlias api.xyzzy.com RailsEnv production DocumentRoot /home/webby/rails/current/public &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre>
