Virtual hosting problem

Hi,

I'm having a problem with virtual hosting. This isn't the first time
I've set up a virtual host, but I've apparently wandered into unfamiliar
territory. Here are the relevant host definitions:


ServerAdmin sean@dezynworks.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/primary
ServerName primary.com
ServerAlias primary.com www.primary.com
ServerAlias primary.com www.secondaryA.net
ServerAlias primary.com secondaryB.tv
ServerAlias primary.com www.secondaryB.tv
ServerAlias primary.com secondaryC.net
ServerAlias primary.com www.secondaryC.net
ServerAlias primary.com secondaryC.com
ServerAlias primary.com www.secondaryC.com
ErrorLog logs/primary-error_log
CustomLog logs/primary-access_log common

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all




ServerAdmin sean@dezynworks.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/primary_dev
ServerName dev.primary.com
ErrorLog logs/primary_dev-error_log
CustomLog logs/primary_dev-access_log common

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all



The primary domain works fine, including all the server aliases. What
doesn't work is dev.primary.com. It isn't accessing the directory
primary_dev. It's access the directory primary. I can't even begin to
guess why. A very similar set up was working just fine when one of the
secondary domains was the primary domain. Then my client acquired what
is now the primary domain and this is what I set up. I wish I had the
old config to look at.

What is even more bizarre is if I go to the old dev site
(dev.secondaryA.net) then I get the site as it exists in the primary_dev
directory. That sub-domain should not even exist. I removed all
references to that domain in Apache's config and the DNS files last
night. I wouldn't expect that machine to be answering to that domain
name now. (I know just enough about setting up DNS to be very
dangerous.) Can someone offer some advice as to why this is not working?

Thanks.

-Sean

Do you have a NameVirtualHost directive anywhere? I would expect a:-

NameVirtualHost 63.134.254.113:80

Presume you have the correct NameVirturalHost definition

> ServerAlias primary.com www.primary.com
> ServerAlias primary.com www.secondaryA.net
> ServerAlias primary.com secondaryB.tv
> ServerAlias primary.com www.secondaryB.tv

> ServerAlias primary.com secondaryC.com

Wait... what?

Why are you repeating primary.com?

Re-read the example at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#serveralias

Where is the log entry ending up?

The sub-domain exists somewhere. Wildcard? Hosts file?

What order are the VirtualHost containers in?
