Update to httpd.conf...
Hi. I would appreciate as much help here as possible, as its a bit out of my league :)

Basically, I am trying to make a 'default' page, which supports "wildcards" ... i.e http://foo.domain.com would print to domain.com. I won't really go into depth about why I am trying to do this, unless you really need to know (but it won't be that easy to explain).

The ISP recommended the following, but its a little over my head;

Quote:
It should just be a matter of ensuring that the VirtualHost directive for ukexpress.co.uk is listed first in the httpd.conf file, i.e. before entries for any other domains - that way it should be used by default if the host header for the domain is not found in the rest of the list..

TIA for any suggestions/help.

Cheers

Hi,

Well, one way would be if all the domains point to the same IP (and no other domains on that IP), simply make a single virtualhost for it:

<virtualhost yourip>
...
</virtualhost>

Cheers,

Alex

Hi,

Not off hand, except for

http://apache.org/docs/

Basically you want at a minimum:

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/www
CustomLog /path/to/access_log combined
ErrorLog /path/to/error_log
<Directory /path/to/www>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

If you need cgi-bin, then you'll also want:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/www/cgi-bin/

Cheers,

Alex
