Description
[server config]
Used when the Apache server services multiple hostnames. Each hostname is
given its own <VirtualHost> directive.
<VirtualHost> has a beginning and ending directive, with other
configuration directives for the virtual host entered in between. Most
directives are valid within <VirtualHost> except the following:
BindAddress,
GroupId,
MaxRequestsPerChild,
MaxSpareServers,
MinSpareServers,
Listen,
NameVirtualHost,
PidFile,
ServerType,
ServerRoot,
StartServers,
TypesConfig, and
UserId.
This is essentially a segmenting directive that applies directives
solely to the virtual host specified. For example:
<VirtualHost sales.oreilly.com> ServerAdmin webmaster@oreilly.com DocumentRoot /ora/sales/www ServerName sales.oreilly.com ErrorLog /ora/sales/logs/error_log TransferLog /ora/sales/logs/access_log </VirtualHost>
