Re: Apache VH Help needed
This is an apache configuration issue AND a DNS configuration issue.
Requirement 1:
An A record or a CNAME for * in the zone file for the domain
customer1.com.
* IN A ip-address-of-www.customer1.com
or
* IN CNAME www.customer1.com.
However this will also mean that:
a: no other ip-s can be given out in the domain (but they can be assigned
from a subdomain)
b: not all ip-s will point to www.customer1.com (the A records pointing to
somewhere else must be before the * line in the zone file).
A CNAME and A record coexisting for the same name can cause problems (eg.
an A record for * and a specific CNAME).
Requirement 2:
The rewrite engine must rewrite all addresses that and with .customer1.com
to www.customer1.com or else they will be served from their own
directory, not from /var/customers/webs/www.customer1.com
