The way I understoof the apache config file was, the first entry of all
your virtual hosts is what takes presedence when a user connects to the
web server. So if your first entry that apache reads on startup is for
the 10.9.10.212 virtualhost you have below, then ANY address you type in
your browser that resolves to that IP will get that virtual host site -
unless it's defined below the 10.9.10.212 virtual host entry.
For example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName
www.example.com
... More virtualhost data ...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName
wiki.example.com
... More virtualhost data ...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 10.9.10.212
... More virtualhost data ...
</VirtualHost>
Now, if someone types any of the "ServerName" addresses in their web
browser, and connect to the web server running that virtualhost config,
they will connect to any of those 3 sites. Now, if they type (for
example)
crm.example.com, if you have a DNS entry for
crm.example.com
that resolves to the same web server as
www.example.com, because there's
no virtualhost info FOR
crm.example.com, you'll actually receive the
virtualhost entry for
www.example.com - because it's the defualt site
that apache serves in that config file.
Now, where things can really get tricky and confusing, is if you use
external config files for virtual hosts, and still append virtualhost
data to httpd.conf. It appears from your statement below that you are
using external config files that get called by httpd.conf.
So what I suggest, is you copy one of your virtualhost files to a new
name (like wiki.conf or something) inside your /etc/httpd/conf.d
directory, and then edit it accordingly, and then restart/reload the
httpd process.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki Apache Confusion
I am in the process of migrating my existing MediaWiki installation over
to a new server running CentOS 5.2. I have the following installed on
the new server:
MediaWiki 1.13.4
PHP 5.1.6
MySQL 5.0.45
MediaWiki is installed under /var/www/html/intranet. The full URL to
the main page on the old site is
http://intranet.company.com/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page. The new one
should be same except for
intranet2.company.com...
I am using another application on this server that uses apache. When I
browse to
http://intranet2.company.com/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page, it
brings up the other application.
I have the following in my /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf file:
<VirtualHost 10.9.10.212>
ServerName
rtnew.company.com
ServerAdmin sadams(a)company.com
DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl
<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler RT::Mason
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Do I need to add to this file or create a new conf file under
/etc/httpd/conf.d so that my new MediaWiki page comes up
(
http://intranet2.company.com/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page)? What needs
to go in there?
Thanks for any help.
Shannon
