解决虚拟主机Apache 2

Question

I'm trying to setup my apache server to access certain folders when I type addresses like test1.example.com test2.example.com etc.

So far I read and did many things but with no success yet. I'll be very thankful if you can help me.

So to start I'm using ubuntu 12.10 as my desktop and I've set up apache server there. I've added example.com in hosts resolving to 127.0.0.1. So far no problems. I've enable vhost_alias and mod_rewrite in apache and I'm using this for my virtual server

NameVirtualHost *:80
UseCanonicalName Off
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName example.com
   ServerAlias *.example.com

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?([^\.]+).example.com$
   RewriteRule ^(.*) $1 [F]

   VirtualDocumentRoot /home/example/server/projects/%1/public_html

     <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride all
        </Directory>
        <Directory /home/radoslav/server/projects>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride all
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

   #log file for this server
   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com.log combined
</VirtualHost>

But when I open test.example.com it says that browser can find test.example.com, no matter that I have this directory in the path specified. Just to clear things up apache have permissions to read this directory so it's not this. When I ping example.com from console I get ping but if I ping test.example.com I get error that can not find host. As you can see obviously it's not resolving the adress no matter that I've setup everything correcly.

Any help guys?

Answer 1

You need to add test.example.com and any other hostnames you want to use in the host file. The host file does not supports wildcard.
