I have 2 ip address.

I want example.com use 173.x.x.x and files.example.com use 174.x.x.x.

Now example.com works well but files.example.com can't work.

Anyone help me? Thank you.
DNS Record(use Linode DNS):

A/AAAA Records
Hostname    IP Address    TTL              
                173.x.x.x        Default    
files                 174.x.x.x        Default    

I use debian5.0 32bit system。

ports.onf:

NameVirtualHost 173.x.x.x:80
NameVirtualHost 174.x.x.x:80
Listen 80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
 Listen 443
</IfModule>

sites-available/example.com:(This works fine)

<VirtualHost 173.x.x.x:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /home/site1/public_html/
ErrorLog /home/site1/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/site1/log/access.log combined
<Directory /home/site1/public_html>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

sites-available/files.example.com:(This can't work)

<VirtualHost 174.x.x.x:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName files.example.com
DocumentRoot /home/site1/public_html/files
ErrorLog /home/site1/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/site1/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

You can only have one NameVirtualHost declaration. Use *:80

http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CommonMisc ... iple_times.

An error occurred :

Reloading web server config:apache2[Mon Jan 03 07:22:35 2011] [warm] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts.

Now I change example.com & files.example.com to:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com 
..........
..........
</VirtualHost>

Is this right?

Yes, that should work.

I have changed in my server.No error but files.example.com still not work

After this,I try to change ports.conf to

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
 Listen 443
</IfModule> 

example.com to

NameVirtualHost 173.x.x.x:80
Listen 80
<VirtualHost 173.x.x.x:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /home/site1/public_html/
ErrorLog /home/site1/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/site1/log/access.log combined
<Directory /home/site1/public_html>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost> 

files.example.com to

NameVirtualHost 174.x.x.x:8080
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost 174.x.x.x:8080>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName files.example.com
DocumentRoot /home/site1/public_html/files
ErrorLog /home/site1/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/site1/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost> 

but it's also not work.......

That's a false statement. The problem is having identical NameVirtualHost statements, not multiple different ones.

What you want is this:

ports.conf:

NameVirtualHost 173.x.x.x:80
Listen 173.x.x.x:80

NameVirtualHost 174.x.x.x:80
Listen 174.x.x.x:80

And then both your sites-available as they were before. (Both should have a <VirtualHost IP_ADDRESS:PORT> line where IP_ADDRESS:PORT matches exactly to the NameVirtualHost line)

Then, make sure to enable both sites with a2ensite NAME.

thanks for your reply but it also has error meeage....

Ok, so I apparently fail at thinking early in the morning.

Delete the "Listen 173.x.x.x:80" line, and change the "Listen 174.x.x.x:80" to "Listen *:80"

also error。。。。

Retarting web server:apache2[Mon Jan 03 09:42:15 2011] [warn]NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

You are having problems.

Ok here's what you need

Listen *:80
NameVirtualHost *:80

Make sure you have no other Listen/NameVirtualHost directives anywhere else.

Then you need two virtual host configurations for

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName files.example.com
DocumentRoot /home/site1/public_html/files
ErrorLog /home/site1/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/site1/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /home/site1/public_html/
ErrorLog /home/site1/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/site1/log/access.log combined
<Directory /home/site1/public_html>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

You should also ensure you can ping both example.com and files.example.com

Lastly as hoopycat likes to say, "Please consider not redacting your host or domain name when asking questions." It would make things easier.

According to your method,"files.wrust.me"still not work.But I find a question files.wrust.me can't pass ping.

I bet either

1) You've not set up static networking according to this guide http://library.linode.com/networking/co ... nterfaces/

or 2) You've not rebooted after setting up the 2nd ip.

Now It works.

Thanks again.
