Below this vhost path might be an extra directory which is the document root of the vhost. The document root for each vhost is built from three values: - server-root - hostname - document-root The complete document root is constructed either by :: server-root + hostname + document-root or if this path does not exist by :: server-root + default-host + document-root A small example should make this idea clear: :: /var/www/ /var/www/logs/ /var/www/servers/ /var/www/servers/example.org/ /var/www/servers/example.org/lib/ /var/www/servers/example.org/pages/ /var/www/servers/mail.example.org/ /var/www/servers/mail.example.org/lib/ /var/www/servers/mail.example.org/pages/ simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers/" simple-vhost.default-host = "example.org" simple-vhost.document-root = "pages" You can use symbolic links to map several hostnames to the same directory. Conditionals vs. simple-vhost ----------------------------- You have to keep in mind that conditionals and simple-vhost interfere with one another. :: simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers/" simple-vhost.default-host = "example.org" simple-vhost.document-root = "pages" $HTTP["host"] == "news.example.org" { server.document-root = "/var/www/servers/news2.example.org/pages/" } When ``news.example.org`` is requested, the ``server.document-root`` will be set to ``/var/www/servers/news2.example.org/pages/``, but simple-vhost will overwrite it shortly afterwards. If ``/var/www/servers/news.example.org/pages/`` exists, that will be used. If not, ``/var/www/servers/example.org/pages/`` will be taken because it is the default. To use conditionals together with simple-vhost, you should do this: :: $HTTP["host"] != "news.example.org" { simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers/" simple-vhost.default-host = "example.org" simple-vhost.document-root = "pages" } $HTTP["host"] == "news.example.org" { server.document-root = "/var/www/servers/news2.example.org/pages/" } It will enable simple vhosting for all hosts other than ``news.example.org``. Options ======= simple-vhost.server-root root of the virtual host simple-vhost.default-host use this hostname if the requested hostname does not have its own directory simple-vhost.document-root path below the vhost directory Tips ======= Make sure mod_simple_vhost is the first mod in 'server.modules' list,when you are using mod_simple_vhost with mod_cache and mod_proxy. You can configure a virtual host with multiple domain names by using 'or' syntax such as: :: $HTTP["host"] =~ "^(hosta\.example\.org|hosta\.example\.net)$" { ... virtualhost configuration here ... } }}}
